Do commit hooks work with the file:// protocol?

I want to be able to prevent commits to a repository in some circumstances. I've set up a local svn repository to test, but my commit hook doesn't get called.

I'm using the file:// protocol. Should hooks work with that?

There's a transcript of how to reproduce the issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4934990/

Thanks.
