I'm trying to force-push something using vanilla git. I did some git rebase -i
to drop unwanted work and I try to push it to origin:

[tn@ross154]~/Devel/project% git push origin main        
To ssh://dev.int.etacassiopeiae.net/project
 ! [rejected]        main -> main (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://dev.int.etacassiopeiae.net/project'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.

So far so good, this is expected. Now, I'm trying to force:

[tn@ross154]~/Devel/project% git push origin main --force
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
gotsh: bad packfile with zero objects
fatal: remote error: bad packfile with zero objects

Is it supported?

Best regards,
