Since recently (1.1?), the push wizard shows a preview of what a push will do. This is a very good idea, but unfortunately it is lying for forced pushes:
If I do a forced push, the "expected push results" only shows commits which will be added to a branch. It does not show the commits which will be dropped from the branch.

IMHO this is a critical bug, because the UI implies that force pushes are harmless. I know that they are not, but IIRC EGit is mainly addressed at users who with little Git experience.
