With hooks and by auditing who pushes changesets is one option.

You can install a local hook script, that runs at `pretxncommit' time,
and checks the author of the pending changesets.  If one of them is not
allowed to push or commit to your repository you can reject the push or
commit operation.

It's then up to the person who wants to push to fix their local tree and
try again.
