Yeah. One slightly annoying thing is that git doesn't provide a way to disable force pushes to particular branches (how would such a thing even be implemented?

Yeah. One slightly annoying thing is that git doesn't provide a way to disable force pushes to particular branches (how would such a thing even be implemented? I guess the remote would have to remember the old and new branch pointers and determine whether the change is fast forward for each individual branch) So if you want your team to be able to do what you say then someone could force push to master by mistake.
