too bad. i *want* pre-receive hooks. i think it's a lot better to annoy
those who are making the mistakes (or those who chose to deal with them)
than everyone else by having to download and wade through the crap that
was committed. in fact, i want to move a lot of the post-commit magic in
svn to git pre-receive, so people know they are making mistakes *before*
everyone has to deal with them. the checks could be duplicated in a
pre-commit hook which people can install locally to get feedback even
faster.
