I know there are hooks out there to block various other kinds of

written one to block fast forward merges.

Maybe git-merge --no-ff would also be helpful to "do what you
want".

When I wrote my response, I assumed the intent was that people
_should_ be using --no-ff, but that he wanted to enforce it via hook
during a push to a central repository.

Reading it again, I'm not sure whether that is the case or not. If
not, the disregard my original response. :)

Would your script only work at "push time", or would it also work at
"commit time"? I'm not sure at what point he thinks he wants to enforce it. I don't think git yet knows the info your script is asking for at "commit time" (ie, pre-commit hook and its brethren), and by the time it does know it's too late to block the commit locally. Maybe it does know that inof at the point one of those "commit time" hooks runs. I haven't tried it.
