Hi Rob, Thanks for this useful link. I'll see what's most practical for me. As usual, the number of options of git is bedazzlingly large. I dared to ask this question on the Python list because I am planning to use this in conjunction with the nose package. I figured that this package (or something of python) *may* have some other functionality that ensures that tests are automatically run on a regular basis. It would be ideal if it could be combined with other tasks (I have pylint or pep8 in mind). Commit hooks appear to be a good method.
