Hi,

I disabled denyNonFastforwards for your project, so you should be able to do this now.

Once you have reset master, please respond to this support request, so that I can enable denyNonFastforwards again.

Hi there,

I have just been made maintainer of GNU Stow, and am about to make the first public release since 2002.  I have resurrected old commit history from the old CVS repository, rebased the never-published commits from 2003-2008 from the existing savannah git master branch onto it, cleaned up these commits, separated experimental commits onto a separate branch, and then authored almost 100 new commits.  Therefore my master branch, which is the project's official master from now on, is not a fast-forward from the existing, but due to savannah preventing non-fast-forward changes to master, I cannot re-point master at the correct commit.  Please advise how I can do this.

I am an experienced git user and fully aware of the implications of trying to do this, but this is an exception to the rule because noone has been actively developing Stow except me since 2009.

Thanks!

Adam Spiers <aspiers>
