Lock a branch

Hi all-

I've been going through the Subversion book (printed the whole thing out)
but haven't found anything that really answers this question: Can I lock a
branch/tag so that no changes can be made to it? I am using this particular
repository for documents that become a printed catalog; once the docs are at
the printer, they should never, ever be changed again; I need to make sure
that I can always print out this branch and have exactly what was sent to
the publisher.

I can't rely on anybody reading my comments ("DO NOT CHANGE!"), I can lock
the documents but others can steal the locks, and I was thinking of writing
a hook script to prevent a commit to the branch taking place, but it seems
...silly to have to modify it for each new branch.

Is there any good, standard ways of doing this?

Thanks,

Ron
