I've searched my -dev archives for part of that URL, and the only hits I am
getting is this e-mail thread.  Was this URL previously shared on this
mailing list or another?  I do not track the Gentoo Blogs, so unless
something is shared to the mailing lists, I will likely miss it.

That said, I will admit I am uncomfortable with post-commit, pre-push
validation.   I get that git is vastly different, and vastly superior, to
CVS.  Get it right the first time, and you don't have to worry about fixing
it later -- CVS teaches you that very well, and it still works well for git
workflows.  Going back into git post-commit to fix things is still something
I need to learn more about, as my git-fu is still pretty amateurish beyond
the common basics.  Especially when dealing with kernel patch maintenance
and maintaining lots of small, discrete changes that kernel upstream prefers.
