The transaction directories are created in response to a commit. If
the commit was successful, the transaction becomes a revision; if the
commit was rejected by the pre-commit hook script, the transaction is
deleted. So the only way to test a pre-commit hook is really to
install it in a real repository and commit things to it. If you can't
afford to mess with your production repository, you can always create
a test repository and develop your hook script there, and only move
it over to your production repository when you're sure it works.
