I would propose to make this even stronger:
Forbid to create any branches which start with any of:
- "refs/"
- "heads/"
- "remotes/"
- "tags/"

as long as you do not use the "force" option.

The idea here is that you also will not get ambiguities later when you pull
new branches into your repository.

so long
