Re: pre-commit hook script to avoid unwanted. to complex ?

I take it this is written in VisualBasic? Not familiar with the syntax, but
that's pretty much how you'd do it. One comment is to print out something to
STDERR to explain why the commit failed. This should include the name of the
file rejected and the reason.
You should also not exit the commit script immediately. Instead, go through
all the files to be committed, and store all the errors (file name and
reason for the rejection) in an array. Then when you finish looping through
all the files, check to see if you have any errors. If you do, print them
all out and cancel the commit.

That way, if someone has a half dozen files that cannot be committed,
they'll see all the errors at once and can fix them all before doing a
second commit. Otherwise, they'll fix the first error, commit, see that
there's an other error, fix that one, commit again, etc.
