Comment (by EvilDMP):
Where the Working with Git docs say things like: `git remote add upstream
g...@github.com:django/django.git` this should say instead: `git remote add
upstream https://github.com/django/django`.
This isn't ''always'' read-only in the way that GitHub's now-deprecated
`git://` URLs are, but at least it requires a password, even if you have
write-access to the repository, when pushing.
Then of course the `git push -f` section in the docs needs a note with the
stern warnings mentioned above, and a mention of alternatives to `push
-f`.
(It's actually possible to delete a remote's push URL to prevent pushing,
but this is probably beyond the scope of this document.)
