Subject: Interleaved remote branch update problems
Message-ID: <201204051549.14397.mfick@codeaurora.org>

I have noticed that git push --force does not reliably force 
a push to remote branches.  In particular, it will not 
update a remote branch if that branch has been updated since 
the beginning of the push.  Is this normal, is this 
expected?  It also fails to fast forward in a similar 
situation without the -f flag.  This seems counter intuitive 
from the perspective of a git push user.  Are there good 
reasons for this?
