Depends what you mean by borking, but you might consider starting with
reading the "git config" man page for the following entries:

- receive.denyDeletes
- receive.denyNonFastForwards

In order to prevent merges, you will need to use a a receive-pack hook such as:

You might also consider something like gitosis/gitolite/gerrit
depending upon how formal you want to be.
