The patch in this discussion is not meant as a replacement for the one from Francesco. It was meant as a companion patch. As I view the form of the option that relies on the stability of remote-tracking branches strictly worse than the honest "--force" that loudly advertises itself as dangerous (as opposed to being advertised as a safer option, when it isn't), I consider the change to require users to opt into relying on remote-tracking branches as a prerequisite before we can recommend the form as a safer version of "--force".
