It's great to see a couple of tests, however I think it would be useful to have some more - one to check that we do not force when the remote is rewound and a couple to show that we do force when we should. In particular we should still force if we `pull --rebase` and then rewrite the local history using `rebase -i` so that the remote ref is no longer an ancestor of the local HEAD.
