Name
pre-lock – Notification of a path lock attempt.
Description
The pre-lock hook runs whenever someone attempts to lock
a path. It can be used to prevent locks altogether, or to
create a more complex policy specifying exactly which users
are allowed to lock particular paths. If the hook notices a
pre-existing lock, then it can also decide whether a user is
allowed to “steal” the existing lock.
If the pre-lock hook program returns a non-zero exit
value, the lock action is aborted and anything printed to
stderr is marshalled back to the client.
Input Parameter(s)
The command-line arguments passed to the hook program,
in order, are:
repository path
versioned path which is to be locked
authenticated username of the person attempting the
lock
Common Uses
access control
