Hi,

When I have to do this and cannot force push to a feature branch, I
first delete the remote branch, and then push to re-create it.
 
This could look like something like this (assuming you push the remove
called origin):

    git push origin :users/jv/patches/feature-python-mi
    git push origin the_name_of_the_local_branch:users/jv/patches/feature-python-mi

Hopefully, this does the trick.

Best,
Lancelot.
