That's a one-time problem.  The situation that caused it could very
well happen again, and the workflow should include procedures to
handle that.  I thought Richard was contemplating the idea of cloning
a fresh repository every time he wanted to push some changes, so my
reaction was to that possibility, not to a one-time fix.

"Simple" is in the eyes of the beholder.  I think without a good
understanding it is impossible to come up with such a procedure, but
that's me.
