Looking for a way to turn off/modify ref disambiguation

["Nathan W. Panike" <nathan.panike@gmail.com>]

A colleague at $dayjob recently caused corruption in our git
repository by accidentally running the command

git rebase origin stable

where they meant to run

git rebase origin/stable

The git-rev-parse(1) man page says:

...
<refname>, e.g. master, heads/master, refs/heads/master

    A symbolic ref name. E.g. master typically means the commit object
referenced by refs/heads/master. If you happen to have both
heads/master and tags/master, you can explicitly say heads/master to
tell git which one you mean. When ambiguous, a <name> is disambiguated
by taking the first match in the following rules:

       1.          If $GIT_DIR/<name> exists, that is what you mean
(this is usually useful only for HEAD, FETCH_HEAD, ORIG_HEAD,
MERGE_HEAD and CHERRY_PICK_HEAD);
       2.          otherwise, refs/<name> if it exists;
       3.          otherwise, refs/tags/<refname> if it exists;
       4.          otherwise, refs/heads/<name> if it exists;
       5.          otherwise, refs/remotes/<name> if it exists;
       6.          otherwise, refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD if it exists.
...

Is there any way to change this behavior, e.g., so that rule 6 becomes
an error? Say, by setting a config option?
