In case you've never encountered a pre-commit hook, here's a sample of the
effects:

  cory ~/wc/vellum% echo '        ' > foo.py
  cory ~/wc/vellum% svn add foo.py
  A         foo.py
  cory ~/wc/vellum% svn ci -m "i did not read the coding standard" foo.py
  Adding         foo.py
  Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
  svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output:
  Python file contains lines that begin with tabs: 'trunk/foo.py'
  There may be others as well.

If Twisted wanted to adopt this, I would suggest adding a link to the coding
standard in this message, or something.
