----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 Sometimes people commit rules that we can automatically detect are
 invalid, for example with utils/trivial-validate.py.  It would be good to
 have a system to prevent these from being committed at all or to
 immediately warn someone when they have been, rather than having to wait
 until someone tries to build the extension later.

 I've never used commit-hooks, so I don't know exactly what options are
 available in the git infrastructure to help with this.  Another
 alternative is a daemon that periodically runs validation scripts across
 the current tree and generates e-mail if anything invalid is present.
