[Bioc-devel] Question regarding pruning release of large files

[Turaga, Nitesh]

Hi Saskia,

Mike is correct, you cannot force push to the Bioconductor git repo. 

If you point me to the GitHub location, and you are confident that you want your repo overwritten, let me know I'll force push it for you.

Best,

Nitesh
