We can just customize our environments. It is easy.

I already pointed out in my last post why that's not going to solve the problem.

Additional checks could be put in `make patchcheck` or a local commit hook for hg.

Automation always pays off. Simplifying the process always pays off. Providing yet another step to the workflow would be a move in the opposite direction*.

You mean `make patchcheck` isn't *already* part of your workflow?

Is there any point in weighing each time whether a mistake is common enough to be included in the commit hooks? It's not like we're paying some SVN vendor a fee per hook ;-)

* A completely separate topic would be that programmer-side precommit hooks are a terrific idea for Hg. But just as client-side form validation doesn't free Web apps from having to implement server-side as well, I believe hooks on the central repository should be as complete and as restrictive as it gets.
