title: How can I choose to overwrite remote repository with local commits?
body: <p>Basically, due to events beyond my control, my remote repo was moved - I did a lot of work on my local copy in the meantime and now I really just want to overwrite everything in the remote repo with my local files.</p>
  
  <p>However, I don't seem to be able to do this. The closest I can get is to pull and merge, but then it wants to walk me through some convoluted process for merging. I don't want to merge. I want to overwrite. I don't need a new branch - basically, I just want a fresh start.</p>
  
  <p>The remote repo is on unfuddle.</p>
