(`git push -f`). This should generally be seen as forbidden (since
you're rewriting history on a repository other people are working
against) but is allowed for simpler slip-ups such as typos in commit
messages. However, you are only allowed to force push to any io.js
branch within 10 minutes from your original push. If someone else
pushes to the branch your commit lives in or the 10 minute period
passes, consider the commit final.
