Sometimes you want to push an earlier release or while the repo is dirty. Use --force to disable the errors for those cases.

Remove two try: // except Exception as e: print(e); return blocks, they don't help anything (expected exceptions aren't handled this way, and for unexpected ones I strongly prefer to get the full traceback.
