Sure, it would be very inconvenient for everybody who has a clone of the repo, but I don't think that's a convincing argument to a nation state trying to enforce regulations.

I had used the wrong identity for a commit and tried all manners of git manipulation and force push, but GitHub kept me on the list. In the end I just nuked that account. Edit: Apparently renaming branches and reverting that works: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69294044 https://stackoverflow.com/a/69294044
