-# A hook script to verify what is about to be pushed.  Called by "git
-# push" after it has checked the remote status, but before anything has been
-# pushed.  If this script exits with a non-zero status nothing will be pushed.
-#
-# This hook is called with the following parameters:
-#
-# $1 -- Name of the remote to which the push is being done
-# $2 -- URL to which the push is being done
-#
-# If pushing without using a named remote those arguments will be equal.
-#
-# Information about the commits which are being pushed is supplied as lines to
-# the standard input in the form:
-#
-#   <local ref> <local sha1> <remote ref> <remote sha1>
