Hook scripts do not work in this way. They are non-interactive and
especially in the case of the pre-commit, will block others from
committing while the hook is executing.
There is no "dry run" for a commit. It's conceivable that you could
check the user ID in the pre-commit, and if the committer is JD,
reject the commit while mailing a diff to SD which represents the
change being attempted. This would require a lot of overhead on the
server though.
Honestly, I think you're trying to apply an excessively technical
solution to a fundamentally non-technical idea.
