I was able to play with this a bit more and have a better solution. If I read you correctly, the remote branch "jb_mr2" already exists. From the local branch with the commits run this:

git push ssh://company.com:29418/platform/vendor/com-proprietary/ship/ftm 72bc75e409e50dcad29bd790b4b6478dc6668f12:jb_mr2

If the remote does not exist:

git push ssh://company.com:29418/platform/vendor/com-proprietary/ship/ftm 72bc75e409e50dcad29bd790b4b6478dc6668f12:/refs/heads/jb_mr2

Whew... took some fighting with the code, but I believe this works properly now in both instances. – Rescue9 Aug 01 '13 at 19:00
