The "obvious" (to me) answer is provided:

Unfortunately, while I understand (in theory) that a pre-commit script
should be able to enforce something like this, I'm not quite sure HOW
to do it (I don't understand pre-commit scripts all that well yet.) But
this is such a common situation, that there must be SOMEONE on this list
who has already written such a script. Would that person mind sending a
copy of a working script to "lock down the tags directory"?
