Summary:  Add a precommit hook

Original Submission:  There is currently a hook in the commit function which 
runs

at the end of the commit process. It would also be useful 

to have a hook run at the start of the commit process and 

be able to abort the commit process by returning a non-zero

error code from the hook script.



An example of what can be done with this is to do a make in 

the the hook script and have the script return make's error

code. This means that a compile will be done during the 

commit hook and if the code doesn't build it won't commit

and broken code doesn't get into the archive.



Obviously if someone wants to bypass this process they can.

This is meant to prevent accidental commits of broken code.



I have included a diff which seems to work for me, but I'm

not totally sure that its correct. I have also mentioned 

the previous version of this patch on the mailing list.
