With this patch, it now goes through the code, but don't do the commit.

OK.

A further progress would be to do the pre-commit hook is possible...

Sorry, I wanted to write:

"A further progress would be to do the pre-commit hook *if* possible..."

here, we are used to do "cvs -n commit" just to check if the "hooks" on the cvs server will fail or not...



I understand that you tried to make the patch smaller by avoiding
re-indenting, but this is *yucky*.

It looks to me that the above part could be solved with:

	unless (...) {
		next;
	}

I think the function being patched is too big.  Wouldn't it be better to
have a refactoring patch to move the above per-path logic to a helper
function that deals with a single path, and then insert the "omit call to
that helper when run with -n" code in a separate patch?

The same comment applies to the other hunk.

Also I notice that the indentation used throughout the file is somewhat
broken (e.g. "Emulate by running hooks/update" part is indented to 8
columns, but earlier parts use 4 space indent).  The right structure for
this change may be:

  Patch 1: Fix indentation (and do nothing else) to uniformly indent with
           HT;

  Patch 2: Refactor this big funciton using a handful of helper functions
	  (and do nothing else);

  Patch 3: Omit calls to these helper functions under -n option.



Ok you are right... These were my very first lines in Perl... I just wanted to catch the attention of someone who is able to do the changes correctly... and in a more clean way than I...
