Why bother?  Is it so hard to set up a convention among your developers
that no one touches the 'README' file or whatever?  I suppose if
permissions were really important, you could set up a dir which your
developers only have read access to that gets checked out with your
project.  That will prevent commits and if no changes get committed, no
updates can be pulled down...

  O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
  The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword,
  Th'expectancy and rose of the fair state,
  The glass of fashion and the mould of form,
  Th'observed of all observers, quite, quite down!
  And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
  That sucked the honey of his music vows,
  Now see that noble and most sovereign reason
  Like sweet bells jangled, out of time and harsh,
  That unmatched form and feature of blown youth
  Blasted with ecstasy.  O, woe is me
  T'have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
