No, as all other capabilities of the git-protocol are mapped 1:1 to
the transport helper protocol for support, e.g. each transport helper
has to handle this on its own, c.f. remote-curl.c:set_option
(line 39 ff and 1065),

The helper ought to print "unsupported"
(remote-curl.c:1065 for the http helper) and then the transport helper
will take care of it (transport-helper.c: 265 and e.g. 820)

I guess the remote helper would communicate it the same way as communicating
if the push succeeded? (i.e. reject non fast forward.)
