No, you would have to contact the server.

But you should consider changing your workflow a little bit. Instead of
making a release branch and define the first revision of that branch as
the release, create a tag of that revision. Then you can filter the url
for /tags/ and use that to determine whether this is a release or not.
If you like, you could then add a hook script which prevents commits to
those folders in /tags/ and you'll be fine.
