Details:
I migrated from bzr to git sometime ago. The git changes are a massive
refactor and allot of reformatting.
I would like to keep the bzr repository intact. The bzr repository contains
real history.
I would like to remove or delete the git repository and then push or create
the repo with one big change.
I tried doing this manually but get an error:'
$ git push origin :master
Enter passphrase for key '/home/markjolesen/.ssh/id_rsa':
remote: error: By default, deleting the current branch is denied, because the
next
remote: error: 'git clone' won't result in any file checked out, causing
confusion.
remote: error:

remote: error:

! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)

Thank you.
