"git pull" will at least tell you something is seriously wrong (if you know
the firmware tree should never require a forced update, that is).

I'd really appreciate if the firmware tree had signed tags or signed
commits, though.  Those at least provide decent end-to-end security (both at
rest, and while in transit) for data once it has been "git push"'d.
