So how about allowing: > > [receive] > denyDeletes = false > denyNonFastForwards = false > > [branch "master"] > denyDeletes = true > denyNonFastForwards = true While this would not be better than having no such feature, if you are talking about allow(ing) "people", I doubt this would scale very well. I wonder some globbing with site-specific naming convention would be more scalable: [receive] denyDeletes = refs/heads/* && !refs/heads/*/* denyNonFastForwards = refs/heads/* && !refs/heads/*/* And in the meantime, of course you can use your update hook, mimicking various examples, ranging from contrib/hooks/update-paranoid, Documentation/howto/update-hook-example.txt, and hooks/update.sample. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
