    • → Assigned user changed from “” to “defunkt”
    • → Tag changed from “” to “browse idiotproofing”

    The news feed is a permanent record, it won't ever change.

    Can you show me an example of when this happened? I would expect push -f to change the HEAD.

    Consider workflow:

    git commit -m "Initial commit"

    nano README (edit README)

    git commit -a -m "Updating README" (produces fa8c27bdcd2566340a22a6dcf8c893f88f4055ea)

    git push

    OMG, something wrong!!!

    git reset --hard HEAD^

    git push -f

    Commit no longer available in commits history (right stuff)

    But I still able to browse changes :(

    Maybe I have misunderstood something?

    Cheers.
