Pre-testing commits with Git

The awesome folks who work on Hudson CI have finally brought us pre-tested commits with Gerrit Code Review. Their solution of watching everything under refs/changes/ is a bit brute-force, but its an amazing first start, because Hudson can "vote" on the change and prevent it from being submitted if the build failed.

A few years ago I started a similar sort of thing for Git. Its carried in the contrib/continuous directory of the git.git source code distribution. But this whole Hudson-Gerrit integration is way better, because it lets you catch the failure before its submitted to your development branches.
