In general, probably not: once somebody clones your repository, they
can install any hooks they like.  You can only controls what goes into
repositories that you control directly.  And by the time a changeset
is being pushed to another repository, it's immutable.

I suspect the right answer is a commit wrapper script, training, and a
hook in your maste repository to make sure people get it right (i.e.
reject changesets with improper log messages).
