GitHub model is based on pull requests and not on shared Git repositories: that's why protections against forced push is typically not needed (typically repo is pushed by only its maintainers and not by contributors). The way we use GitHub with Jenkins is not very typical for them :-)

Yes they are rare ! ... but when they happen you need to sort them out :-( > BTW, out of curiosity, how did you manage to force push such a large number > of repositories at the same time? :) Problems with the Gerrit replication plugin ... unfortunate combination of three events (Murphy's law ?): - working on a directory where I had the Jenkins plugins repos cloned (but outdated to around 1 month ago) - having a Gerrit replication plugin pointing to that directory (I did not realised was using *forced push* that until later today) - having the permissions of making *forced push* on repos that I did not work on (I did not realised that until today) I have removed those local repos on my machine ... so can't do it again, but we need to sort out the mess in the meantime :-( I am submitting now a patch to Gerrit replication plugin to *forbid* forced push by configuration: so at least I can block them from my side. Possibly a bit late ... closing the gates when the sheep just escaped ;-( Luca. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
