The problem with these kind of commit-time checks is that you only find 
out the problem *after* you've validated your nicely polished commits. 
If we're going to add more checks on commits they should be done by 
validate (yes I know that's not at all trivial, but it's not impossible 
either).

I propose to add similar hook for trailing whitespaces. Herbert says he can implement that. What do others think? Would you find that useful or problematic?
