preventing commits (this is *not* a classic hook question)

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is any strategy for temporary preventing people
from committing to a svn repository, without the person who sets the hook
(or sth similar) being the admin of the svn repository. Thus, in this
case, there is no option to directly access the /hooks/ folder.

A "poor man's" option could be working with locks. But, recursively
locking a large repo path could be inefficient, and locks can be stolen
anyway. So it looks like the wrong approach from many perspectives.

Any idea for preventing commits, for a specific time, without being able
to directly accessing the hooks folder?

Thanks!!!

Michael
