> I am in the middle of rebasing our feature branch (YARN-2928), and am hitting a snag. I was wondering if I can get help from you.
> When I completed rebase locally and tried to force push, it was rejected because it was a "non-fast-forward" change:
> {noformat}
> $ git push origin YARN-2928 --force-with-lease
> Username for 'https://git-wip-us.apache.org': sjlee
> Password for 'https://sjlee@git-wip-us.apache.org': 
> Counting objects: 3383, done.
> Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
> Compressing objects: 100% (1462/1462), done.
> Writing objects: 100% (3383/3383), 663.93 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
> Total 3383 (delta 1296), reused 1789 (delta 672)
> remote: error: denying non-fast-forward refs/heads/YARN-2928 (you should pull first)
> To https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop.git
>  ! [remote rejected] YARN-2928 -> YARN-2928 (non-fast-forward)
> error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop.git'
> {noformat}
> Now I'm trying to swap the branches via renaming, and that's not going through either. First, I pushed a new branch for the result of this rebase as "YARN-2928-rebase" (commit: 28fc7b14040f7d7584495e3f9b157d1e647876f7). I also pushed a new branch for the old YARN-2928 branch as "YARN-2928-old-2015-11-09" (commit: 3c4e424edc6317a17d0d339db225f98cfa80a118).
> Then I was going to delete the remote YARN-2928, and rename YARN-2928-rebase into YARN-2928. But when I try to delete the remote YARN-2928, it says "delete is prohibited".
> If force push doesn't work, and delete is prohibited, I'm not sure how to finish the rebase. :) Could you kindly help me navigate this safely? Thanks in advance!
