Re: Overwriting bare repositories' master

ShadeHawk at #git noticed that this does not apply for a local

Do not top-post please.

I reproduced the two successive push-es both to a local git
repository, and then to a remote git-shell'd one, and indeed, it works
locally but it is rejected remotely ("error: denying non-fast forward;
you should pull first").

So this is probably caused by git-shell restrictions.

I do not think so.  Have you checked your config to see if you
have receive.denyNonFastforwards set?

I suspect Jakub (ShadeHawk)'s test does not have it.
