I disagree. A user may use --force because he has good reason to think
that a branch hasn't been been touched by others, but it's much harder
to guarantee that all branches haven't been touched.

We're not talking about the same thing. You're talking about how
_appropriate_ a value is, and I'm mentionning how _dangerous_ it can be.

And regardless of the danger, if I look around me, I see almost only
people working with shared archives, and a few projects (including Git,
obviously) using the "one commiter per repository" workflow (I teach Git
to 200 students and several colleagues every year, I've tried teaching
the "one public repository per developer" and it was a complete disaster).

I really think the default should help these people.
