Make is possible for maintainers to force-push (including non-fast-forwarding changes) to pv-next and next
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
Time and again people erroneously merge branches to next that need to be removed to avoid incorrect conflict reporting. It would be easier if any of the "next"s ended up in this position, we could simply force it to a clean state.
Of course only the maintainers can do this.
