Yeah, I see where you're coming from. I don't think push certificates
have caught on yet...

You can read on them on [1], and also under the
Documentation/git-push:147.

There's also another PR trying to make a sample hook for signed
pushes on [2].

The basic idea is to push a signed data structure with relevant git
reference information as a git object to avoid a server/mitm from moving
references around.

Cheers!
