If you get the hook working, then please consider expanding the section
on the wiki. I think others would find it very helpful if you showed the
relevant configuration they need to add.

(I'm suggesting you edit the wiki instead of me since you'll be the one
who actually tests this -- and as a user you'll know what confused you
when setting it up.)

You could maybe even add a note about this somewhere at the top of the
page, to make it more clear that one can use this "feature of last
resort" on the server-side without enabling the worry-some rewriting of
content on client-side checkout. It is the latter part that I would
consider bad -- adding a hook on the server is quite common and does not
go against the design of Mercurial.
