Yes.  The hooks prevent pushing a merge commit to master or a release 
branch.  A branch can still end up as multiple commits on master, if there 
are multiple logically separate changes there (in which case it *should* 
end up as multiple commits, one for each change that makes sense on its 
own), but each of the commits that ends up on master should be correct in 
itself (as far as known at the time they are pushed), to support 
bisectability.
