Agreed. When we're in the middle of testing, please don't force-push over the
top. It makes a mess. I just spend quite a while retesting because suddenly my
branch was out of sync and I thought I'd broken something.

Once you've called it, keep it.

TBH it would make life a *lot* easier if RCs were properly tagged as such.

Cheers,
