The problem with that is our version control system (devel/aegis) purposely does not allow arbitary checkins... there is a whole procedure of you have to prove it compiles and passes at least one new test and then an other person needs to review the change and then and only then can it be checked in (and even here you need to repeat the proof of build and one new test [same as the ones above] to ensure that passing the test was not a fluke of your local environment)... this project is setup so I play all 3 roles on it but all three phases have to be formally done to check it in... btw the whole goal here (unlike non-atomic VCS's like SVN [git does it to some extent] the goal here is to make sure that nothing breaks the baseline [the fully tested and reviewed repo]).
