[Kde-scm-interest] Request regarding Git branches

Hey folks,

I have a small request regarding git.kde.org, it resulted from a
discussion with Chani:

Problem is, we cannot currently force-push on branches, nor can we
delete them. I can understand that this is done for safety reasons,
but it does not fit everyone's work flow. E.g. I tend to rebase a lot,
and that does not work without force pushing.

So, Chani and I came up with this idea: We could allow force-pushing
and deleting on branches (shares branches need communication anyway),
but we could disallow it for master. This way, not much harm can be
done, but it allows for a more flexible work flow.


Thoughts?
