Yes, Subversion calls them 'hooks', Clearcase calls them 'triggers'.

But the big difference here is that in Clearcase, triggers are executed
by the client. In Subversion, they're executed by the *server*. That's
the reason a Subversion server can send email after a commit, or can run
a script to validate a commit before it happens (and possibly reject
it.)

So in your case, you'd write a pre-commit hook script that runs 'lint'
on the server. If lint fails, the server rejects the whole commit.
