Per-branch receive.denyNonFastForwards?

skillzero@gmail.com· Jun 8, 2009, 05:20 UTC · lore

Is there a way to deny non-fast forward pushes to only certain branches? I'd like for people to be able to force push to their own branches on the server, but for the master branch (and maybe a couple other important branches), I want to prevent it. I basically want a per-branch version of receive.denyNonFastForwards. Is there a way to do this?

The update-hook example should shows how you could guard specific branches. If you want to make this user-dependent you may need to look at gitosis.
