So, I’m told that we need to discuss this issue and only after a
decision/voting they would implement such a change? What do you think, what
are the pros and cons of disabling force pushes and should we do it?
Definitely a +1 on disabling. forced pushing in my view should be never
used on a public repository. It can break somebodies pull and reset/rewrite
history in a repo.
There should be no reason for anybody to ever have a requirement to do a
force push. Git supplies us with a revert that will allow us to undo
commits without destroying history.

Hi all,
I found by accident that you can force push on branches on our ACS/ASF
repo.
So, I’m concerned that anyone could do a force push, sneak in changes on
ACS/ASF branches; opensource projects have had issues with people
changing
histories, putting backdoors and whatnot, so I would like to avoid that.
For example, I would like us to disable force-push(es) on our git repos
to
avoid a situation like Jenkins had:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/jenkinsci-dev/force$20push/jenkinsci-dev/-myjRIPcVwU/mrwn8VkyXagJ
So, I requested the infra team [1] to disable force pushes on release and
master branches because that made sense and I was told that they don’t
allow force pushes on master (relief!) but not on release branches
because
it would be hard to track the release branch names. I asked them if we
should disable force pushed on all branches at all and if they people
want
to do it, they can do it in their own private/github repos/forks.
So, I’m told that we need to discuss this issue and only after a
decision/voting they would implement such a change? What do you think,
what
are the pros and cons of disabling force pushes and should we do it?
