I would think it's not that simple because `git push --force` doesn't do anything if it thinks the histories are the same, and in this case we've created a history that appears to be the same. You'd likely need a custom git client (which isn't a problem) but I don't know enough about the internals of a git push to know if the server would even accept objects if they match hashes of objects it already has (it may just go "I don't need that" and ignore it, because what's the point in doing anything with it?). Presumably it would depend on the exact server implementation whether you could get it to replace an existing object with a "new" one which is actually the same hash, but frankly I think that's unlikely because it would be pointless work from the view of the server. If it does happen I'm not sure what auditing you would actually be able to see, webhooks and such might not be triggered because the history didn't actually "change".
What you could do however is just host it yourself somewhere else, say put it on a fork. Or if you have access to the actual repository hosting the original version, you could just manually replace it yourself. git clients aren't going to just automatically pull the "new" version though so you'll have some combo of people with the old and people with the new, and it gets a little messier from there.
