Git-annex's commit hook does not prevent unannex being used. The file you unannex will not be checked into git anymore and will be a regular file again, not a git-annex symlink. 

For example, here's a transcript:

<pre>
joey@gnu:~/tmp>mkdir demo
joey@gnu:~/tmp>cd demo
joey@gnu:~/tmp/demo>git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/joey/tmp/demo/.git/
joey@gnu:~/tmp/demo>git annex init demo
init demo ok
joey@gnu:~/tmp/demo>echo hi > file
joey@gnu:~/tmp/demo>git annex add file 
add file ok
