Validating all git changes from a plugin

[Eddie S]

I am trying to write a plugin that will validate all git changes that are done to stash. I am 90% there, but the 10% could kill my whole plugin.

I am able to validate all changes that are pushed via a pre-receive hook. That works great.

I am able to validate the merge action on all pull requests via a merge-check. That also works great.

However, a user still has the ability to delete a branch from the stash UI, or alternatively create a branch in the UI. That seems to totally bypass the above hooks. I know that I can control this via branch permissions, but I don't want to use this (since I don't always want to block users from writing or merging to these branches). I'd like to give users as much control on the repo as possible but still have these validations in place.

Is there any plugin hook that I am missing which could let me accept/reject these operations too? Alternatively, if there is a way to blanket disable those actions, that might also be acceptable.

Thanks for any help!

Regards,

Eddie
