Put a different way: consider there is a hostile entity from

revisions in my repository? Or can it only make new revisions 
grow on my side?
If you allow your ref to get updated to an arbitrary value, you are lost,
unless you have signed tags that anchor things in place, in which case you
can trust the part of history that is reachable from them.
