Why the force push?

Open jasonkarns opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

If this is generally used to keep forks up to date from upstream, (as is my understanding), then the fork's branches will be behind upstream, but not divergent. Which means the force push is unnecessary, no?

Alternatively, could the force option be configurable?

(And lastly, wouldn't --force-with-lease be safer than --force?)

Thanks for bringing this up. Making it configurable sounds like a great idea. PR Welcome!
