I'm not sure a "problem" exists here. Keeping your personal topic branch rebased on top of the main development branch is a perfectly reasonable workflow, and quite comparable to what you'd do with Mercurial patch queues.


And in a team where everybody's used to that, and force is only ever used on topic branches where that's the expected 'done thing', it really doesn't cause a problem.

(on teams that like rebase I tend to do this a lot)


Exactly. Though it is a bit of a moral hazard... or maybe that's not the right term... point is, users get used to "-f" ing pushes.
