Currently when you're using bookmarks, push --force is the _only_ way to get a new head pushed even if it's bookmarked. So until I get back to that patch that allows push -B to create new heads (*cough*), I'm -1 on this. I'm also not keen on any reference to an "administrator" or "management policy" of the remote repo; these are insufficiently general terms for a distributed environment where anyone can trivially set up a repo that others can push to. I might go for something about checking with the "owner" of the remote repository.
