The values of the new option vc-allow-rewriting-published-history
could have their mnemonic value improved (and also become more
consistent with our practices elsewhere), if they were changed as
follows:

  nil (default): don't allow
  ask: ask whether to allow
  t: allow without asking

The current values, where t means "ask for confirmation" and 'no-ask'
allows without asking is IMO sub-optimal, because t usually means in
Emacs "do something unconditionally".

So I suggest to change the values as described above.

Thanks.
