Another note, it is not be possible for you to push back to the Bioconductor 
server once the repo is cleaned. Please do this on your Github repo, and let me 
know. I will sync the cleaned repo.

To further explain, you need force push privileges to Bioconductor to make this 
happen, and these are not given to maintainers. Hence the added step required 
for me to sync these repos.

I’m also forwarding to Bioc-devel, since this is a particularly good question 
to share with the community at large. We’ve been getting a few questions 
pertaining this exact problem.
