Theoretically yes, but that requires you to notice that the f45 branch
is ahead of rawhide through no fault of your own.

If you do the "normal" workflow of updating rawhide first and then
merging (if necessary) to other branches, as soon as you notice that
"git merge rawhide" gives you an error (or an unexpected merge
commit), it's too late, because you have already pushed a diverging
commit to rawhide.

I agree that the commits should have been pushed to both rawhide and
f45 (and just not *built* for rawhide again) in this case to avoid
this issue.
