Nice, if you have a distributed project.

If you work in a commercial environment with an authenticated central repository then all actions are logged. This is the best place to audit who-did-what.

I suppose this doesn’t work though if you have developers with legitimate reasons to push commits by other people. What would those be? Cherry picking bug fixes to a release branch? One engineer merging a branch where they’ve been collaborating with someone else? I would probably want to take ownership of the former, and the latter isn’t very common now in the era of “everything on master”.
