Details:

I goofed pushing to the PSPP Git repository, pushing a bunch of commits that I
did not intend to the master branch.  Now I want to fix that.  In the past
I've been able to do that by deleting the master branch and recreating it at
the correct point, but Savannah now prevents deleting the master branch with
the message:


remote: error: By default, deleting the current branch is denied, because the
next
remote: error: 'git clone' won't result in any file checked out, causing
confusion.
remote: error: 
remote: error: You can set 'receive.denyDeleteCurrent' configuration variable
t
remote: error: 'warn' or 'ignore' in the remote repository to allow deleting
th
remote: error: current branch, with or without a warning message.
remote: error: 
remote: error: To squelch this message, you can set it to 'refuse'.
remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master


Will you please set 'receive.denyDeleteCurrent' to 'warn' for the PSPP Git
repository, so that I can fix the problem?

Thanks,

Ben.
