No, it's not "pre-submit", it's "pre-commit" hook. And as any hook, it's
running on server side, when data is already submitted to the server, but
before it really committed to the repository.

The simpler way is to create a prototype configuration file and distribute it
across your developers. You could use the very same Subversion for it, as book
explains in one of the examples.

Also, please don't top-post.
