We could try to enforce this rule in the git-llvm script, but this would mean making use of the script mandatory, which was our original plan, but that was based on the assumption that the "Require Linear History" protection would not be ready in time. Generally, would it be better if we kept use of the script mandatory so that we can handle this and other potential restrictions in the future? - Tom> > > 5.

As for creating undesired branches; contrary to accidentally pushing merge commits on the master branch, any accidentally created branch should be possible to remove without any permanent traces left behind (especially as it doesn't affect the master branch). So for that purpose alone, I'd vote for not requiring git-llvm for pushing. Btw, out of curiousity, what mechanism does GitHub offer for verifying that the push actually comes from git-llvm? (I'm sorry if this part was discussed elsewhere, but I don't remember seeing it discussed lately.) // Martin
