Take a look at the git reset command. It can be used to completely destroy revisions. However, if that is on public repo, then it's very dangerous. If other people cloned the repo and have commits based on the revision you destroyed, it's going to be painful to recover from that. It depends on the kind of mess you created.

I appreciate repo.or.cz, but one of its drawbacks is that it doesn't allow you to delete a project or your project Git repo in case you ever mess up your project Git repo and want to re-create it. Does Git allow a user to delete and re-create the master branch in a remote repository? This would solve the problem on repo.or.cz that I mention above.

New git hosts seem to be popping up left and right. If you find any other ones, please feel free to add to the comments. I just found out about gitorious a couple of days ago.

Gitorious has a nice look too, and I actually moved the "Piston":http://piston.rubyforge.org/ repository there.

It refers to the same article as "one git user and use ssh keys" which explains how to host a Git repository using SSH, not HTTP. I think the “through http” link refers to the wrong location.
