Why would you want to do this? Unless the checkout fails in the middle, it will always check out the revision you specified or the head revision at the time the checkout started. Further commits should not interfere and the resulting working copy should always be in a consistent state. So if you're concerned about commits messing with the WC being checked out, things should be fine.
If you're trying to accomlish something else, you'd have to place a lock file somewhere a pre-start-commit hook could see it and reject commits based on the lock file.
