Pull Request Please allows to protect Git branch and tag references from pushes without a pull request through the following two options:

• Specific Git refs: e.g. refs/heads/master
  This option can be used to restrict access to a fixed set of Git refs with specific values. If you e.g. use the Gitflow workflow for your repository, you can restrict access to the branches refs/heads/master and refs/heads/develop

• Patterns for Git refs: e.g. tags/**, ?.?, heads/**/master
  Use this option if you want to restrict access to Git refs with branches that can evolve over time. E.g. if you use the Gitflow workflow, one example might be releases/** or release-*  which means that nobody is able to push to a release branch (e.g., refs/heads/releases/1.0 or refs/heads/release-1.0) anymore without a valid pull request. The syntax for these patterns is exactly the same as Stash is using for its branch permissions page which is similar to the pattern matching known from Apache Ant. The allowed wildcard expressions are:
   

  ?	Matches one character (any character except path separators '/')
  *	Matches zero or more characters (not including path separators)
  **	Matches zero or more path segments (e.g. **/tags matches refs/heads/tags)
