= phenomenon =

We got some commits pushed to the Spacewalk git repo hosted on fedorahosted that we'd like purged.

= background analysis =

When I try to reset or remove the master branch, I get

$ git push -f origin :master
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 to
remote: error: 'warn' or 'ignore' in the remote repository to allow deleting the
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
To ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/spacewalk.git/
! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)

= implementation recommendation =

Could you please set the receive.denyDeleteCurrent config option of the Spacewalk git repository to warn?

Thank you,

Jan
