Thanks for sharing your perspective and possible use case. I find
this interesting.
The idea of a pre-push hook seems a reasonable one - even though it
probably wouldn't meet everyone's use case for this ticket, it might
be useful for other things too.
These ideas are all at an early stage and this kind of input is very
helpful. It will help us know what shape of thing(s) we want to try
to make. We might well do more than one thing.

On the other hand, I found this response discouraging and
dogmatic-sounding.
It's true that some ways of implementing Phil's suggestion might have
some downsides, but this whole area is full of tradeoffs. Many of the
observations you make are fairly obvious and didn't need to be stated.
Non-obvious downsides can be stated in a more neutral way.
Otto, please reconsider your comunication style. [1]
