If you use the svn:needs-lock mechanism, you don't need any hook scripts.
SVN handles it for you.

See the docs: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.locking.html

The crux of it is no one else can modify a file when I have a lock (unless
they manually circumvent the read-only access). Even if they manually set
the file to writable and modify it, they can't commit it because *they *don't
have the lock.
