huh, I did not know, origin works like this. FWIW, I stopped using 
"origin" as a label of any remote, because I never knew what it was 
pointing at. I started using "upstream" and "ppalaga". -- P

And we did not notice that until late today. This could have partially been avoid by me working on fork. I do not like to work on a fork for the Metrics project because it is a constant churn of branching, getting new code, merging since I actively work on a project. But that by itself would not have avoided this force push at all. I knew about force push protection feature in general but never thought about activating it. Thanks to Juca for mentioning it in the channel.
