Think of Martin's use case. A pre-commit hook wouldn't solve his
problem (even tho it might be a very sensible idea to have such a
pre-commit hook in a multi-platform project in order to prevent such
problematic situations in the first place).

Also the these warnings/errors/renames have to be WC-specific so
anything running on the server-side won't fly. :-/
