By asking users to explicitely say "yes, I know, this branch can be
rewond", we also ask them to think about it before making a mistake.

That said, enabling the check by default may also become painful. I'd
vote for a configuration option, defaulting to the current behavior for
now. Then we can try living with it for a while and see how painful it
is.

I suspect the vast majority of branches in the wild do not rewind
under normal conditions. Users who work against branches that rewind
(e.g. those of us basing on a topic in pu)

Err, I don't think it's about people basing their work on pu, but rather
about anybody fetching from pu, i.e. everybody calling "git fetch" or
"git pull" in their clone.
