That's really pitty :-( ... force push are dangerous, especially if you don't have control over the Git Server.
Typically recovering a force push is straightforward: 1. git reflog > look at the SHA-1 before the forced push 2. git branch -f <name> <sha-1> But if you don't have control over the Git repo on the Server, that you need to prevent force push to happen: unless they want everyone to buy GH Enterprise ! I still hope GitHub will do 1. and 2. for us :-) Luca.
