[aur-general] Force Push to AUR Package GIT
Hello AUR Mailing List, I would like to ask if it is possible to force push to an AUR GIT repository. Sometimes it may be useful if you adobt a package and want to keep your own git history - merging unrelated histories should not be done. Regards, Elias Werberich

This is strictly forbidden on the AUR, with the justification that historical *versions of the package* should never be deleted. You can commit your own updates on top of that. It would be rather untruthful to claim that the AUR history is something that it really wasn't, just because your private history was that something. -- Eli Schwartz
