Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-1841:
---------------------------------
For the Parquet project, we have a [commit
script|https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/blob/master/dev/merge_parquet_pr.py]
that ensures the commit message follows conventions. The drawback is that it
requires contributions to be pull requests and Avro has traditionally used
patches. It also makes it harder to make a small change and commit rather than
asking the contributor to make it. It does avoid these issues though.

> Last week I made a commit and I made an error: The commit message was not
> fully according to the right format.
> To avoid future mistakes I propose we introduce validation to the commit
> message by using the git hooks.
> These can be run in two places: client side and server side.
> This ticket focuses on the client side hooks. If we decide to add this also
> to the server side that must be a separate ticket.
