Just notice - github allows to disable a force push into master branch.

It's not the first time that we have had small problems with history so no
worries.
Thankfully with the help of commit@calcite list we can always find a way to
fix things as long as we identify the problem soon enough.

According to the change log [1] the last commit before force pushing was
(dcbc493), which corresponds to CALCITE-5019.

* -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O (dcbc493)
\
N -- N -- N refs/heads/master (c3dbf52)

According to [2] the full commit id
is dcbc493bf699d961427952c5efc047b76d859096.

In order to restore the master branch in the state that it was before the
force-push (before release) I plan to do the following steps:

git fetch origin dcbc493bf699d961427952c5efc047b76d859096
git checkout dcbc493bf699d961427952c5efc047b76d859096
git branch -D master
git switch -c master
git push origin master -f

I will apply the above sequence in 12h from now to give some time to others
to react if necessary.

Obviously this will nuke out any current release candidate so we will need
to cancel existing votes and create an RC2.

There has been a force push also to the site branch but doesn't matter much
since we can force push master to site after the release is finalized.

Best,
Stamatis

Hello Liya,

No worries, we all make mistakes.
I think the sequence of steps that you describe looks like a plausible
explanation for how we get into this situation. Do you know (from step 2)
which commits were in site branch that were not in master?
If in the future you (or anybody else) get blocked or experience any
problem on a certain step during the release process, do not hesitate to
send an email to the dev list with subject "[HELP] ..." describing the
issue. In my experience, someone from the community will assist relatively
fast.

Any git expert with a clear idea on how to restore the master branch?

Best,
Ruben
