The thing we don't want to do is grant push (with or without force) on a
branch itself ('refs/for/...' is probably fine).  That is dangerous as
it allows you to bypass code review.

Also, it's probably worth looking into the state of the REST api, both
in 2.4 (unlikely) and 2.8 or 2.9.

Thierry, I've added you as an Administrator on review-dev, so feel free
to pick a project there and adjust ACLs (you can just use the web ui),
make branches, etc, as needed.  I usually use 'gtest-org/gtest', but I
suppose you could use 'emontyoncrack/wookie' if that sounds more fun.
