This is the main reason we did not go with a GitHub solution for our
code.

If we used a pull request model for the monorepo then review can
mitigate the kinds of problems that server-side hooks address, but of
course it's a more manual process and prone to mistakes.  I understand
that a decision in that direction is orthogonal to moving to git.
