Formating C/C++ code before commit with indent

Dear Subversionists:

Since I´ve notest the huge biological cluster that we have here, I am
wondering if anyone has a ingenious way of solving this problem.

All of our C/C++ projects follow a well defined format (wich can be
represented via indent params) and we wish to run indent just before the
commits. This is important because our programmers very different setting
in their editors such as tab spaces and formatting styles. The indent
program handles this ok. It just has to be executed before the commit.

Right now we have a policy that explicitly tells the programmer to run the
"prepare" script before the commit. But, naturally, people have made some
mistakes.

One way I though of doing this was to write wrapper scripts to the commit
action, so the user would execute: SvnCommit instead of the command
directly. The only thing is that this is quite anoying and doesn´t work
with other plugins (unless you edit them, of course) like the Anjuta
Subversion plugin.

Also, many other actions would have to be wrapped.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the brainstorming,
Rodrigo Madera
