Ah, since I maintain my patches in quilt series and I re-generate my git
trees from that, I very frequently force-push stuff -- even when nothing
changes for a particular tree.

Basically my script wipes the entire git repository, takes a new tip
clone and applies my quilt series to appropriate branchs and pushes the
whole thing out.

So yeah, please don't let that block reports.
