Hello,

I'm setting up a shared repository and I'd like to prevent users from
creating branches in it (they can of course create local branches in
their own clone of this repository). How can I accomplish this ? I
looked at 'git help config' and it seems I need something similar to
the parameter receive.denyDeletes - this prevents deletion of
branches.
