    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1769?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13479231#comment-13479231 ] 

Michael Biarnes Kiefer commented on DROOLS-1769:
------------------------------------------------

Fixed - all needed branches in "important" kie reps are protected now.
Until now there is only the option to protect the branches via github UI.
It seems that if you create a new repository in the kiegroup organization the branches in it are not automatically protected (seen in kie-soup and drls-parser).
Send a mail to github team - so lets wait for an answer.

> There are 2 ways to protect a GitHub repository/branch from force pushing:
> 1) a backend switch (not available in their UI) to disable force pushing for the entire repo (OLD)
> 2) "protected branches" in the "settings" menu of each repo, in the submenu "branches".
> Some repositories, such as "drools" and "optaplanner", have 1), so all their branches are immune to force pushing.
> Newer repositories, such as "optaplanner-wb" probably don't have 1).
> All repositories seem to have 2) for the following branches: master, 6.4.x, 6.5.x.
> BUT NOT 7.3.x etc. That's wrong: this means optaplanner-wb's 7.3.x branch is not protected against force pushes.
> All release branches (7.0.x, 7.1.x, ...) should be protected against force pushing. This includes future release branches, so the release procedure should be adjusted accordingly.
> We should ask github if there's a way to automatically add all new branches to "protected branches".
