a path. It can be used to prevent locks altogether, or to
create a more complex policy specifying exactly which users
are allowed to lock particular paths. If the hook notices a
pre-existing lock, then it can also decide whether a user is
allowed to “<span class="quote">steal</span>” the existing lock.</p><p>If the pre-lock hook program returns a non-zero exit
value, the lock action is aborted and anything printed to
stderr is marshalled back to the client.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id428862"></a><h2>Input Parameter(s)</h2><p>The command-line arguments passed to the hook program,
in order, are:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>repository path</p></li><li><p>versioned path which is to be locked</p></li><li><p>authenticated username of the person attempting the
