Unless you have push access, no. And this is very much by design. For example, when somebody mistakenly pushed a secret (like what lines in the kernel infringe on M$ patents, if any) it should be possible to rebase (in a hurry), force a push, and have the safe feeling that nobody can fetch the secret any longer.
