Yeah, that was my intention. We can certainly provide instructions to set a commit-hook, but it's the user's responsibility to set this up. The only way to enforce compliance is on the server's side. And yes, even though we are using a DVCS, we have a central repository where finally all commits are fed to. Best regards, Karli
