Generally speaking, nothing. Consider Alice pulls from Bob's repo on
NFS. Alice doesn't run Bob's hooks.. because that's called "an arbitrary
code execution security hole". And Bob doesn't run Bob's hooks either..
because there's no mechanism for that.

But in configurations where hooks ARE honored, you can use the
preoutgoing hook.

If you're looking to make a Mercurial server cluster, you might want to
to look at this:

https://bitbucket.org/facebook/hgsql

It uses an SQL server to implement cross-server transactional locking
and replication (though storage is still done in the usual way).

Between this and remotefilelog, Facebook is very comfortably serving a
large number of developers on just a few servers.
