[Monotone-devel] [PATCH] Add a commit message validation hook

[Blake Kaplan]

I pulled this project right off of the quickies page (and if it
weren't for my lack of familiarity with the data structures and a
couple of typos, it would have been really quick). This adds a hook in
Lua that is called after the user has entered his/her commit message.
The hook gets the message, a table of the added, deleted, and modified
files and can veto by returning false and the reason.

I'm not thrilled about the fact that you have to return |true, ""| if
the message validates, but such is life. The default hook currently
disallows empty messages, since that's what monotone currently does,
but it could probably just as easily return true, "".
