We should delegate this task to git and set up a hook for this kind of checks. http://git-scm.com/docs/githooks I'm not going to copy and paste what's on the website but a hook is basically a script that gets executed post/pre commits/push/[insert action here]. Hooks can be written in any programming language. If we take the concept event further, even repoman itself could go away..
