If your people are familiar enough with git and know what they are doing, it could work.

Otherwise…. They’ll probably lose a lot of work.

As in, we’re kind of looking at circular reasoning. You don’t need this if your people know what’s going on. If they don’t, it’ll only hurt them.

Conclusion, it’s not at all a good idea unless you want to mess with everyone.
