Unfortunately, commit hooks have to be set up in every local copy of the
repository, which I can't see happening.

On the other hand, there *is* a sample "pre-commit" hook to catch trailing
whitespace installed by default in every new git repository, so it would be
as simple as running "mv .git/hooks/pre-commit{.sample,}".
