I am looking into the tools neccessary to give other people write access to a git repository. I understand that git repositories are accessed using SSH with a locked-in command like gitosis or gitolite. I learned that git, unlike Subversion, which simply doesn't support any history-changing operations, has certain operations that can actually destroy data, for example git push --force. Are there more such operation that need to be denied to remote users?

git push --force is really the only one that you need to worry about. The other one that could cause issues would be removing a branch, but at least with gitolite if you can't push --force then you can't delete a branch.
