I don't know that much about git commit hooks, but do they really
only check the final state of a series of commits?

In any case, I'm still down on the idea of checking this in a
commit hook because of the complexity and lack of transparency
of such a check.  If you think your commit is correctly indented,
but the hook (running on somebody else's machine) disagrees,
how are you going to debug that?  I don't want to get into such
a situation, especially since Murphy's law guarantees that it
would mainly bite people under time pressure, like when pushing
a security fix.
