Well, your workflow is not my workflow. I very often have to ship test builds (bugfixes, new features, compatibility testing, ...). Yes, the build itself goes in COPR most of the time (or scratch on brewkoji), but the source needs to live somewhere - and I'd prefer it be "not just my laptop". A branch disappearing on the remote doesn't break anything. You don't lose your local copy. Even a force push is pretty easy to adjust to (git reset or git rebase). This happens all the time for development branches and I honestly doubt you notice. Force pushes are only a problem if you're basing work on the branch. But sure, maybe I'm sinning by doing my job. More pull requests won't help either way. Thanks, --Robbie
