The logic you're suggesting can easily be implemented with a Git hook:

Alternately, you can simply not check out that branch locally at all, and then you'll never have to worry about accidentally committing to it.

Also, many repo hosts have branch protection tools, and VS Code has a setting git.branchProtection to list branches which you want VS Code to remind you not to commit to, which can be handy.
