Mmm, well, I might get quite famous if you did... ;-)

But if you wanted to be evil then you could easily find another place (the build scripts, the code itself, et cetera). So I don't think this is a good argument. Moreover, I do not work with people that would ever consider such nastiness. You need to realize that this is all closed source. Your argument would be more valid in an open source environment (like git.git).

So let's just say that I'm stubborn or I like living on the edge. :-) Is there any way to have the hooks run for everyone?
