Re: pre-commit hook script help

when I say never seen one... I mean I looked throughout the archive of
subversion-users and everyone that asked about svn:needs-lock always gets
told the same thing "set up your clients to apply svn:needs-lock then use a
hook script to check that it is applied and reject if it is not" which is
great advice... however the problem is that whenever anyone has ever asked
how to actually program a hook script to do just that... everyone points
them to the SVN book or example scripts but they really do not help for hook
scripts...at least in this case...

so does anyone know of a hook script, that works or has been tested, that
can check for svn:needs-lock for a pre-commit hook script?
