I don't believe there's an option to do this, but it could be achieved with a pre-receive hook. That's the usual approach for denying pushes containing unwanted data (submodules, large files, commits with improperly formatted messages, etc.).

If your Git server doesn't let you install pre-receive hooks, you can do this by adding a test to your CI system to reject objectionable pushes.
