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: You can set 'receive.denyDeleteCurrent' configuration variable
t
remote: error: 'warn' or 'ignore' in the remote repository to allow deleting
th
remote: error: current branch, with or without a warning message.
remote: error: 
remote: error: To squelch this message, you can set it to 'refuse'.
remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master
To git.savannah.nongnu.org:/srv/git/kasoverb.git
 ! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
error: failed to push some refs to
'markjolesen@git.savannah.nongnu.org:/srv/git/kasoverb.git'

Thank you.
