We already have a simple pre-receive hook that rejects commits that
we've previously force-pushed to get rid of (currently it only lists the
most recent case).  So your pre-receive hook would need to be integrated
with that code.  But I think keeping a very simple pre-receive hook is
desirable when we can't edit it without going through the Savannah
admins each time.

So, I think this should be a local hook.
