Hi Ard,

I disagree.  We have never allowed a force push to the main
branch of TianoCore repos.  This has happened before and
was discussed and the policy is to not fix.  Even the edk2
repo has some merge commits in its history that were discussed
and not fixed.

We can never know how many downstream consumers are syncing
with main branches.

Mike
