Just wondering, but can we set up the SVN commit script to verify the file with our inspect program before a commit is allowed? No doubt folks will be greatly annoyed by this at first, but at least we should gradually get those inspection-failures fixed that way :-)
Yes, we can. We're already doing checks for MIME types, end-of-line styles, and well-formed XML.
Typically, I'd like to have all of the problems fixed for files in the repository before putting in a check for those problems, so that everything is consistent. However, this might be one case where it makes sense to put in the checks first.
I definitely agree. Everyone active enough to commit ought to be interested enough to fix warnings.
Ditto. I think this is well worth pursuing. --Beman
