Sure, no problem. I don't want the ability to "rm -f *". I'm raising my hand
and saying "I don't want the power to do these things, so just turn off all the
git commands that could be destructive and give me an alternate way to do the
workflows I need to do". Just like a normal user on a unix machine doesn't run
around with the power to rm -f /etc all the time, even though they may be able
to su to root.

Let me guess, you're always running euid==0. :)
