You are welcome. An interesting addition would be to propagate allowed
branchnames from gitosis.conf. That way you can implement write-
protected branches using an update hook.

A nice solution to steer this directly from gitosis.conf? I never got
around implementing it.

Has anybody implemented something like cvs_acls.pl (used by FreeBSD) for
Git?

contrib/hooks/update-paranoid ?

Perhaps the most flexible, and most paranoid, update hook available.
But it does require that the frontend set some sort of user identity.
I think it relies on UNIX uid, but its easy to hack to use an env
var instead from gitosis.
