An amended commit will have a new SHA1, and therefore git will treat
it as an entirely different commit. Trying to push an amended history
is 'non fast forward' in git terminology, since it involves a rewind
of existing history.

Set receive.denyNonFastForwards if you don't want people to be able to
amend (or otherwise rewind) published history.
