You know I am a little surprised force push is allowed. When Paul first looked into setting up r/w git, a major foundation concern was getting a sufficiently auditable revision history (a strong point of svn), and IIRC quite some effort was spent locking things down [1]. The fact it _isn’t_ fully locked down right now is a deviation from the original plan. Seems pretty likely to me there was a use case that required opening it up. I would guess tag moving to be a major argument, which I _think_ requires forcing. cheers, Leo [1] http://apache.markmail.org/thread/7ztq2pwm6456zqmy
