Agreed. It's not only a security thing, it's also about
teaching/encourraging workflows.
By asking users to explicitely say "yes, I know, this branch can be
rewond", we also ask them to think about it before making a mistake.
That said, enabling the check by default may also become painful. I'd
vote for a configuration option, defaulting to the current behavior for
now. Then we can try living with it for a while and see how painful it
is.
