No, out of security concerns;  imagine you included some proprietary 
source code by mistake, and undo the damage by forcing a push with a 
branch that does not have the incriminating code.  Usually you do not 
control the garbage-collection on the server, yet you still do not want 
other people to fetch "by SHA-1".

BTW this is really a strong reason not to use HTTP push in such 
environments.

Ciao,
