When you've painted yourself into a corner, the only way out is by
getting messy. The easiest way to fix this is to manually copy your
checkusers.sh script into the repository -- then you can commit it the
right way. The other alternative is to edit the commitinfo file in the
repository to remove the reference to it.
In the future, be sure that any scripts or progams you're going to use
in an administrative file exist and are executable *before* you commit
the administrative file. :-)
