 I'd like to be able to manage my private branches. For example, in
 preparation for Ruby 2.0 release, I was pushing my changes to .spec file
 into Ruby's repository in dist git, into ruby-2.0 branch. This branch is
 already merged into master for some while and I'd like to delete it, but
 it is forbidden:

 {{{
 $ git push -f origin :ruby-2.0
 remote: + refs/heads/ruby-2.0 ruby vondruch DENIED by fallthru
 remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/ruby-2.0
 To ssh://vondruch@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/ruby
  ! [remote rejected] ruby-2.0 (hook declined)
 error: failed to push some refs to
 'ssh://vondruch@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/ruby'
 }}}

 Would it be possible to allow some development branches, which can be
 created and deleted as well, without need of opening rel-eng tickets etc?

 Thanks
