You're not being unreasonable. This is a very standard form to ensure that your hobby projects that you engaged in prior to working for a company and will continue to work on while you're at the company are disclosed, known and will not be confused as work-related.
Personally I would withdrawal myself from that company if I was given a response like that. That's not the kind of company culture I want to work at. Good employers realize that jobs and hobbies can intersect. We tell people do what you love but this company seems to be positioning it so they can seize prior work or make it difficult for to to prove it was prior work.
Unless this is somehow your dream job or a niche that has very few openings, walk away. I don't know where you're at but in general the IT job market is pretty healthy right now.
