I did a bit of Googling, and this blog article describes what seems to be a well thought out system for Git: http://causes.github.io/blog/2013/05/30/overcommit-the-opinionated-git-hook-manager/ The key is doing the checks locally, rather than on the central repo server, and offering a way to bypass the checks at need. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
