That is what we do in all of our repositories (along with some other rules
such as a releases tag folder that production can only make new "tags"
in)

(ok, here is a Perl version...)

I would submit the version I have here. It enforces a few rules, including
not changing anything at the root of the repository and only new entries
in /tags and /releases (access control is handled elsewhere)

If I have not yet checked this into the Insurrection project, it will
be there soon,
but I am including it here for reference:
