Is there any such hook > available ? Some suggest to use gitolite, but it also based on the hooks to do the same. If you don't want to use gitolite, you can roll your own update hook. It can be as simple as - check $REMOTE_USER to see if the name is in the "allowed" list (your choice how you want to maintain that list). If allowed, 'exit 0". - otherwise check $1 (argument 1) to see if it is "refs/heads/master". If it is, "exit 1".
