Description

If you create some commits in a repo, then edit a file, then force push the repo after undoing commits, then edit another file, you get error messages or the commits you undid comes back, due to the local temp repo for the server being out of sync after the force push.

How to reproduce

Create a repo
Push a 3 different commits to it from the command line
Edit a file in the web ui
Pull it in the command line
Undo the last 2 commits
Force push
Edit or create a file in the web ui
Funny stuff will happen such as errors, and reappearing commits, depending on what you did.

Why it happens

I think this happens because the repo which the web ui edits does not get synced after a force push from the command line.
