A shared repository in git context usually means the repository "everybody pushes into and pulls _from_". We are talking about pulling into a repository -- and even if you are using a shared repository you do not share a repository you pull into.

A shared repository style" does not mean anarchy; helping to name the same thing with multiple branch names at the central site is not something we would want to encourage anyway.
