If the main git repository were fully under our control, yes, a hook
could be setup there to reject pushes which introduce merge commits.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any of the free git hosting sites which
allow that type of policy to be configured for repositories that they
host, although I haven't really looked into that.

If that were to happen, we'd either need to live with it or rewrite
published history. I think just allowing it to stay in would be the
better option, having an occasional merge in the history shouldn't
introduce much confusion an is better than dealing with the mess of
altering commits that were already made public.
If the accidental merge is discovered before it has been pushed, or any
other changes have been made to the target branch the merge can be
backed out simply by using:
git reset --hard HEAD~
To reset the branch and working tree to the state before the merge,
allowing another try at merging the changes without creating a merge
commit. This would also blow away any uncommitted changes, although
those could be safely saved away using `git stash` before doing the
reset and then recovered later with `git stash pop`.
