I mean that rejecting a fetch because upstream has weird history
would make no one happy.

Agreed. What about when the remote's history is rewritten, do we want
to just transplant the new history, or do we do a forced update of the
remote?

I think treating it as a usual non-fast-forward update makes sense.

Log messages could be an annoying special case, though, since people
edit those a lot.  Does svn store the original log message somewhere?
(Please forgive my ignorance).  If not, I suppose downstream can
publish refs produced by "git replace" to cope.
