Dear List,

we wrote a servlet that is basically a proxy for git-http-backend. We want
to control who can create a new branch. Is there a way to reject a push that
would create a new branch (without using hooks)?

Not sure what else your servlet does or how it affects things but
gitolite has controls to prevent branches being created (among many
many other things, limited mostly by ones imagination!).

Gitolite is normally used with ssh but it has been tested with smart
http also.  It itself acts as a proxy for git-http-backend, inspecting
the URI and QUERY_STRING and such animals to decode some things, while
the rest happens via a special update hook that is installed in each
repo that it controls.

(Specifically, the branch create check is done there, not in the part
that is proxying the git-http-backend process.  You probably know that
the update hook is invoked by git itself).
