Hi everyone,
I recently adopted an orphaned package. There are unwanted commits in a branch,
and I'd like to reset this branch to be as same as rawhide. How can I achieve
this?
It seems force push were not allowed on src.f . I also do not want to commit a "git
revert" on it to avoid "x commits ahead - click to create new PR" on web UI.
Short answer: You cannot.
Long answer: You can create a merge commit that resets the branch to a working
state and push that merge commit to both rawhide and your branches.
Assuming "mybranch" has the extra commit you don't want.
