You have some status in the repository which you want “HEAD” to point to. With Git remote HEAD can be set by forcing the push command.
Such method is useful for example if you want rollback or undo your commits until some particular revision. After you done, master revision is altered.
History in the remote repository is erased as well as changes until the new HEAD revision. Anyone who makes a new clone will get the ‘new’ HEAD you just set.

If you or someone else pushes the ‘OLD’ repository state, the history will be restored. Pushing changes from the clone made after git push -f origin works OK and creates new ‘commit history’ from the point you set.

Set new HEAD
# git push -f origin 5b96cb0d40b1f55a935f5c74970b72421fef6d00:master Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) => Syncing Gitorious... [OK] To git@your.git.repo:your-project/your-repo.git + daae8a1...5b96cb0 5b96cb0 -> master (forced update)

And for any other branch
git checkout your-branch git rev-list your-branch // select your rev, i.e. SHA1 = 4b9bfe2dd388 git push -f origin 4b9bfe2dd388:your-branch
