I was not even aware that this is possible. Is there anything on server 
side that can prevent it?

Would be good if commit were amended and force pushed to fix it.

A hook running on "update" event could check the commits being pushed
and reject the update if some commit among those does not pass the
necessary checks.

Please see the githooks(5) manual page.

I would have thought that receive.fsckObjects would reject it, but seems
that git-fsck does not complain about it at all, as it is otherwise
syntactically valid (a space separating the zero-length name from the
email, and <> surrounding the empty email).

We do complain during "git commit" about an empty name. We don't seem to
do so for blank emails, though. The only discussion I could find
mentions that should probably disallow both[1].

I wonder how this commit was created in the first place (through
git-commit, and we have an empty-name case that is not covered, or using
a lower-level tool that bypasses the checks).

I don't have non-fast-forward rights. Does someone from savannah-users
have them? Could he just delete this commit?

If you do that, then anyone that already did a pull after it went in
will have a broken tree.  Rather annoying.

Nope. They will have a git in which that commit looks like their own
local work. *Someone* will inadvertently do a "git push" to blast out
their changes based on that deleted commit, thereby causing it to
reappear.

If we decide to fix this commit it is better done now, while it is the 
last one. It is annoying but do you have suggestion how it can be done 
differently?

Not if another one pushes something different in the mean time.

+1 to undo it now

Indeed. The faster it is fixed smaller the number of potential unintentional repeats for it, if any.

Looking at mail archives, non-fast-forward is global repository property 
and disabled by default. We probably need to open Savannah ticket to get 
it temporary enabled.

Well the only options are:

1) Leave it alone
2) Break the tree of anyone that already pulled.  (Posting instructions on
how to fix it would at least be nice then).

Not sure how many people regularly pull the tree.

Is the discussion still require attention by Git folks for their
help?  If not, could you take this back to savannah specific mailing
list?

Thanks.
