FWIW I'd find this very useful. I recently spent a fair amount of time
cleaning up the mess created by a user pushing all the tags from
repository A to repository B (don't ask), the options you've
implemented here would have stopped that.

And as you point out even if you refuse these sort of things with a
hook (which I later implemented) that doesn't stop the server from
accepting the objects and keeping them around.
