Hi!

Git repositories in Savannah have blocked `push --force` after rebase.  I do
very much understand the rationale for this being the case for the `master`
branch, but otherwise this is unnecessary hassle.  These are branches that are
for development of features, and being able to cleanup the history makes code
review, "git blame" and "git bisect" much easier.

I did read the rationale here: https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/

I find that rationale unconvincing, since one can still remove the branch with
`git push origin :mybranch`.

In fact, that is my workaround: delete the branch and push again.  And an
unnecessary hassle, that adds more risk.

Thanks for taking this suggestion into consideration.
