Those are some good doc pointers, but be aware that the start-commit hook
lacks the context to perform path-based conditional commit access. It's not
until the pre-commit hook phase that the server knows which paths were
modified as part of the commit. So, yes, you can do this conditionally from
hooks, but use pre-commit rather than start-commit to do so.
