hg equivalent of git push -f?

[Jeremy .]

How do regular hg users handle such a workflow? I presume not with a hook, although that would solve my problem as I described it.


The requirements are:

1) Programmers commit their work to feature branches.

2) These feature branches are regularly pushed to a central server for CI or so that others can view the code.

3) As this code is work in progress they regularly use git commit --amend && git push -f to update the server copy without cluttering history.

You only need to do this on the server, so an extension seems overkill
for this.

Best wishes,
