Hi!

This is not a wish yet, but mostly a question about possibility of adding git commit hook on apache/couchdb repository.

Long story short:
In apache/couchdb repo we have [rebar.config.script|https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/rebar.config.script#L25-L61] file where we pin commit hash / git tag for each subapp we use. It's easy to make a mistake and commit something wrong there, so the idea is to have some git commit hook on this file that will ensure that specified commit hashes / tags are exists, valid and could be used, otherwise - reject.

So two questions there:
1. Is it possible to have own custom git commit hook?
2. And if it is, what do we need to do (in addition to write the code) to make it work?

P.S. Yes, the simple workaround is to do PR first, check how it goes on CI and commit when it's green, but we cannot fix "optional" nature of this workflow - everyone can easily bypass it. Executive decree vs technical containment problem.
