My understanding is that you can write such a hook, one that examines the files that will be changed and rejects the commit if it will change files with certain names. It is useful to have such a hook even if there is no concern that users will not intend to change the files, because occasionally one changes a file that one did not intend to change. Make sure that there is at least one user that will not be stopped by the hook. Otherwise, there is no way to change the hard-defined files without disabling the hook entirely.
