I don't see how pushing could work at all without recursion.

Why not simply allow users with write permissions to "pop" revisions
from the top of the history DAG in a way that actually really deletes
the them? Or at least moves those commits to a separate, locked down
DAG that cannot be read by people without write permissions?

But anyway: If I implement support for fetching SHA keys and full
recursive behaviour in the presence of submodules; would my patches
automatically be rejected because of the rationale for the current
behaviour?
