receive.denyNonFastForwards
        If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which

Looks good, thanks; sorry I missed it, didn't even think to look at the
git-config(1) page for such an option.

I didn't really know about it until earlier this week.  I was expecting to be 
able to do a non-ff push to one of my repositories and it didn't work because 
this was set "behind my back".  (I'm not sure when it got added, but I don't 
think the shared repositories I set up with git 1.4.4.4 had it, so I wasn't 
expecting it.)

I'm assuming this will actually cover the rebase -i case as well?

I don't know exactly what you mean.  It prevents fast-forwards, so once a 
commit is "visible" on one of your central branches, it won't ever go away.  
(You can, of course, use git revert to undo it's changes.)

As others mentioned, now would be a good time to look at receive.denyDeletes 
and/or a custom hook as well.
