One of our developers "discovered" the --force option on `git push` and

Besides a vigorous flogging, we're looking at other ways to prevent this
sort of thing from happening again; the option we've settled on is to
remove the "--force" flag from our internal build of v1.6.1

I'm wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction to
remove "--force" (safely) from the builtin-push.c and removing the
"rebase" command (we've got no use for it, and would prefer it gone).

git help config

receive.denyNonFastForwards (to refuse non-fast-forwards, even with -f)
receive.denyDeletes (to stop users from working around the non-ff using
                     a delete + recreate operation)
