How to find, who executed "push -f" command

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Dear Jeshkumar,

Analyzing the graph is the first way: Checking who created the new head. But 
that is not exact science: It could be that someone created the head and 
someone else pulled it and force-pushed it into your repo.

Repo: changes 

yours: a-b-c

1: a-b-d

2: a-b-c 

→ 2 pulls from 1

⇒ 2: a-b-c
        \d

→ 2 pushes with --force into yours

⇒ yours: a-b-c
            \d

In that case, just looking at the graph would lead to blaming 1, even though 
it was 2 who pushed the changes.

Best wishes,
Arne
