The answer is "yes" in the sense that I meant the question.
Schematically, I asked "Is it A; is it B" where A implies B but B
does not imply A. No matter....
Yes, to do a server-side prevent of a transaction would need more
hacking than I think counts as "write a hook". So, yes, arch doesn't
have that CVS functionality -- I estimate about 4K LOC to provide it
in a good way (fewer LOC to provide it in a mediocre way). The next
question is (assuming your information is accurate): does anybody
actually use that property of hooks?
The only examples of CVS hooks I've seen would be very broken if they
prevented transactions from completing.

I long ago "approved" the idea. I don't see Eric's patch in the bug
tracker....
