Note that there are also options to prevent forced pushes and deletes.
It might be good idea to set these on the public main repository:

    receive.denyNonFastForwards
        If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
        not a fast forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a
        push, even if that push is forced. This configuration variable
        is set when initializing a shared repository.

    receive.denyDeletes
        If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
        deletes the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a
        push.
