Done, but two caveats:

A) You need to provide the -f flag to push or git will still deny it
B) Mail will still be sent out about the commits - just as if you deleted the
branch and pushed it again - if a commit has a new parent, it's a new commit
according to GIT.

The only thing we could think of for B) is that for multi-commit pushes to WIP
branches we *only* send out the "cover email" and don't send out the detailed
email, and then we change the current logic:

 A) We send out detailed emails only for commits showing up for the first time
in any branch in the repository

To:

 A) We send out detailed emails only for commits showing up for the first time
in any non-WIP branch in the repository

So we always send out a detailed mail for any patch landing in a non-WIP
branch. But people may want the normal detailed mails for patches landing in
WIP branches, even if they land in large bunches?
