I started doing an implementation of this in Python here. For technical reasons the git repo is not publicly available, but here's a [dump](http://paste.debian.net/232563/) of the code. I went through what seems to be a rather convoluted process with libgit there because I wanted to have some proper unit tests and generating git commands by hand in a shell script is rather painful.Also, it currently adopts a "blocking" approach, ie. it blocks known problems, but maybe it should be based on an "allow" approach, that is: only allow certain things to go through. So far it only forbids removals and changes to trust.log. A bunch of stuff is still missing like parameters (to allow changing the list of protected files) and checking the log tracking info. Feedback welcome.
