Wouldn't that be the pre-unlock hook? Compare the attempted locker's
name against the name in 'svnlook lock'? Does the pre-unlock hook fire
if the lock-thief didn't use --force? Is so you're back at square one.
Plan b would be for the pre-lock to pass the original locker's name to
the post-lock. Compare the names, send email if they're different.
Sending the of locked file list from pre to post should be enough
information?
