I have attached the current version of my check scripts (I can't use
git hooks since I want to do these checks when I fetch trees). They
both take a range of commits (I usually pass "^origin/master <old SHA
for branch>...<new SHA for branch>" (only 2 dots if the branch is just
fast forwarded).

These could obviously be simplified because they also generate most of
the appropriate mail messages ...
