Git and not rebasing branches pushed remotely ?

[Tom Zeller]

I believe Git best practice is to not rebase a branch pushed remotely, so I’ve been pushing to a “personal” branch (i.e. "name/project") in case anyone was curious. Are we going to follow that practice, to not rebase branches pushed remotely ?

If so, for a Git repo to show up in our Gitweb installation, should I name it "name-project" (instead of "name/project”), with the understanding that it may be rebased ? (For example, because I need to rename the JIRA issue in a bunch of comments). My understanding was that “personal” (i.e. "name/project") repos are not visible via Gitweb.

And, if so, how do we make sure not to rebase branches pushed remotely ?

Thanks.
