Speaking of pre-commit checking, the Wine wiki page for patchwatcher
page [1] currently list the following todo items:

Check for C++ comments.
Check for nameless unions (GCC 2.95).
Check for missing "\n"s in traces/fixmes/etc.
Make sure sizeof is not used in traces.

These sound like things we can catch with a git pre-commit hook, so
developers who use git can fix these even before it hits patchwatcher.
