Re: git push default behaviour?

Obviously - but my point is that it needn't be so dangerous by

It isn't "so dangerous" by default -- you have to specify --force to
enter "danger" territory, and --force is very clearly a dangerous
option that needs to be approached carefully (someone who uses --force
blindly is going to quickly screw themselves regardless of the
defaults).
