I believe I agree with you. I guess the reason this hasn't come up
before is that by far most of the pushes we do are either
fast-forwarding, or pushing into a non-shared repo (e.g. my own public
repo),  and this safety only really applies when we're forcing a
non-fast-forward push into a shared repo...
