How to prevent rebase of certain branches, such as 'master'

Is there a way to prevent a silly mistake such as rebasing master onto another branch?

It might be possible to undo this by using the reflog, but I would like to avoid the hassle by preventing the rebase in the first place.

This gist shows how to use a pre-rebase hook to avoid git rebases the way you want.

You would just have to previously configure which branches you want to avoid rebasing through git config

There is a pre-rebase git hook:

pre-rebase
   This hook is called by git rebase and can be used to prevent a branch
   from getting rebased. The hook may be called with one or two
   parameters. The first parameter is the upstream from which the series
   was forked. The second parameter is the branch being rebased, and is
   not set when rebasing the current branch.

You could probably use this to implement the functionality you're asking about.
