Hi Folks,

I maintain a GitHub mirror of the the GNU Screen git repo here:

    https://github.com/salewski/screen-mirror

During a recent sync attempt[0] I encountered the following error:

    Fetching origin
    From https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/screen
     + 49917a7...4b52c01 master     -> master  (forced update)
    Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
    remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master.
    remote: error: Cannot force-push to this branch
    To github.com:salewski/screen-mirror.git
     ! [remote rejected] master -> master (protected branch hook declined)
    error: failed to push some refs to 'github.com:salewski/screen-mirror.git'

It looks to me like commit 49917a7d9466584e9214e21d5a2fae9d40ebcbfc
was replaced by commit b4e5968f0b7ad7673a57c11b91f359139418f4c0
(evidence of a Git 'forced push') and that the only difference is a
detail in the commit message. The (two-line) patch content looks
identical to me, and 'git diff' agrees.

Is there anything else to be aware of from a Git repo maintenance
perspective?

Just want to be sure....

Thanks,
-Al

        git remote update origin
    Followed by:
