Hi all, I found by accident that you can force push on branches on our ACS/ASF repo.
So, I’m concerned that anyone could do a force push, sneak in changes on ACS/ASF branches; opensource projects have had issues with people changing histories, putting backdoors and whatnot, so I would like to avoid that. For example, I would like us to disable force-push(es) on our git repos to avoid a situation like Jenkins had: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/jenkinsci-dev/force$20push/jenkinsci-dev/-myjRIPcVwU/mrwn8VkyXagJ So, I requested the infra team [1] to disable force pushes on release and master branches because that made sense and I was told that they don’t allow force pushes on master (relief!) but not on release branches because it would be hard to track the release branch names. I asked them if we should disable force pushed on all branches at all and if they people want to do it, they can do it in their own private/github repos/forks. So, I’m told that we need to discuss this issue and only after a decision/voting they would implement such a change? What do you think, what are the pros and cons of disabling force pushes and should we do it?
