I have some questions: do CVS server-side hooks get to vote on whether
or not a transaction completes?   Do they get to postpone a second
transaction until after the hooks from a first transaction completes?

If the answers are both `no', then arch has server-side hooks in the
CVS sense too.   If either or both answers are `yes', then, yes, it's
reasonable to say there's a functional difference here.
