You raised good points. The rule that applies to deletion is quite
different from the one for update, we want to make sure readers know
updates and deletions are different. As the rule for deletion is a
lot simpler (i.e. you can always delete unless a configuration or
pre-receive says otherwise), perhaps it would be sufficient to give
the rules for deletion upfront in one section, and then start the
section(s) for update with a phrase like "rules for accepting
updates are follows" after that.
