The --force-if-includes option of git push only seems to work if my local ref matches the name of the remote ref that I'm pushing to. It would be nice if I could also use it if that's not the case. For example: git checkout -b main-myremote myremote/main git push -u myremote main-myremote:main # Hack hack hack, rebase rebase git push --force-if-includes --force-with-lease This fails, as it does the check_if_includes_upstream check against the local main, which is unrelated. (Cc'ing a few people who were involved in the review of the patch series that introduced the --force-if-includes option.) -Stefan
