This looks good.
Show 9 quoted lines

Thanks. It's ok to just barf if there are any changes.
Background info: the data being version controlled is not source, but configuration for one system which is collaboratively maintained. There is a script which takes the currently checked out working tree, "compiles" it into the actual configuration and rsyncs/activates the actual configuration to the (one) target system. I would like to make sure that if one of the admins runs this script, she has (a) pulled all changes that others may have pushed to the central repository and (b) all her local changes are actually committed to her local repository and (c) pushed to the central repository.
Greetings Marc
