Phabricator showing duplicates commits after git reset

We use Phabricator to do code review using the Audit application. When there's a problem with a commit we do git reset and push -f to rewrite the history. Phabricator still showing the old commits when viewing an task. Is there a way that Phabricator remove the commits that doesn't exist in the git repository anymore?

As far as I know, when you revert by that sort of approach on any VCS, Git included, you aren't "erasing" previous commits at all. You're actually creating a new commit that is the same as the commit you were rolling back to. It's a necessary feature of a VCS, just in case someone messes up the revert and erases something important.

Yes, there are ways to rewrite history in an irreversible way, but your method isn't doing that.

So, since Git didn't actually erase the old commit, Phabricator will not delete it. It will just show the new commit.
