Incorrect data in git log [#2487830]

Hello,

We have made a mistake in git for the project https://www.drupal.org/project/bigvideo
Incorrect data has been saved to commit log for branch 7.x-1.x.
We are trying to filter log data but can't push changes because this branch has the associated release (https://www.drupal.org/node/2487794).
Can you delete this release or maybe we can do anything else to fix log data?

Thank you.

What exactly are you trying to do? We don't allow force pushes, which remove existing commits, because that doesn't update everyone else's clones, putting them in an inconsistent place.

Similarly, we don't generally don't delete releases because others may be using the release. I see there is a 7.x-1.x-e branch. Is that the potential replacement for 7.x-1.x?

Yes, branch 7.x-1.x-e is the correct replacement for 7.x-1.x.

We tried force push filtered log to default branch, after that we have created new branch 7.x-1.x-e with correct data and tried to delete 7.x-1.x, but this doesn't work.

Ok, I can switch those branches around. Please remember:
