If you were before the github, you would not expect an ability to un-push changes. If you were doing development back then, you are likely familiar with "ftp" (or maybe "sftp") and using it to upload files. Or maybe with CSV or SVN. Question from the blogpost: "I git pushed and I want to undo it" Compare with: "I uploaded the file on the server with FTP, overriding previous version. How do I undo this?" Or: "I did 'svn commit', how do I undo this?" Or: "I have sent an email. How do I un-send it?" I am not sure where does the original author's expectation that you can undo any action comes from. "thrwyoilarticle" seems to says this is because they started from "github" interface which has nice friendly UI which warns you about actions which cannot be undone. This sounds reasonable to me.
