It doesn't lose track of state when you force push. You'll see the old commits in the history, and the force-pushed commit, and the comments will still be on the old commits, the issues will still be active, etc. This isn't perfect, but it's a start, and it's better than GitHub.

It's on my feature short-list to write the code to make a best-effort to migrate review comments for rebased commits. But this will always be a bit of a heuristic, and error-prone. If the diff changes substantially as part of a rebase, it's really hard (i.e. theoretically impossible) to always know where to move annotations.

Ultimately, all you really know when you're on the receiving end of a force-push is that some commits were orphaned by a new commit. You can detect this and identify the orphaned commits, but knowing where to move the sticky notes on those orphaned commits is challenging.
