I've just been updating some AUR packages and I've just noticed the my repos on AUR lack their commit history.
I know why --- I migrated using aur2aur4 script and that just created a new repo on the AUR server with an initial commit containing the package at the point of import. I didn't realise at the time!
However, I have always maintained my packages in Git. For any package, I have a repo (let's call it AUR3) that contains the commit history up to the migration and, now, another repo (AUR4) with history from the migration.
I have locally rebased AUR4 onto AUR3 and have a repo with a single commit history.
I'd like to push this to AUR (ie. a force push). However I believe, having searched the forum and wiki, that this isn't allowed. I have not tried, I thought I'd ask first.
Can I do this (or is there another way to solve this problem) ?

You can't do it unless you are a TU.
Maybe a plain merge would get you what you want though -- it isn't a forced push, and with a bit of looking anyone can see your history.

I decided in the end to keep the old history locally in a separate branch and just use the new master going forward. I would have liked a single master branch with a full history but never mind.
