I'd like to overwrite (change the author email) a commit I made into
externals/javaimp in elpa, and the question is - can I delete the branch
and push it again (push -f is forbidden)? Wouldn't it break something?
Thanks.

git.sv.gnu.org will let you do that, so technically you can, yes.

Yes, for example elpa.gnu.org will have problems building new tarballs
until I go and fix it by hand [which I currently can't do, but hopefully
this should be fixed in a few days], and similarly my own local checkout
of elpa.git will need some cajoling and presumably other people having
local checkouts of elpa.git will be similarly affected.
So it's strongly recommended not to do it. But if it's really needed,
e.g. because some commit contains info that really shouldn't be exposed
publicly, it's not the end of the world.

Thanks, I don't need it _that_ much.
