Is it possible to put something in the pre-commit script that checks
the doap file whenever there is a push to git.gnome.org and gives a
warning when the doap file is not correct. Currently it only checks
commits of a doap file. What I'm proposing is to do it for all
commits. Otherwise existing incorrect doap files probably won't get
updated
