I know all that (and the ways to override it) :) I was saying that saving disk space is really low on the list of benefits. Allowing non-fast-forward pushes for certain branches is much more valuable to the Emacs project. Stefan, Glenn: any chance we can get a contributor repo set up that's just like the Emacs repo but allows non-fast-forward pushes, and whose commits go to emacs-diffs? Even better would be if user X could only push to branches "X/.*" Thanks Ted
