NOOO please.

let's not pile up every random tests one can think of in the commit hook...
This can only lead to problems both in perf and in 'git is randomly
screwing up' complaint
and after a while in a generalized abuse of
git commit -n

The pre-commit hook just really test stuff that are commonly
screwed-up yet hard to detect.
The corner case of a missed merge-conflict is a 1 in 100000 occurrence
at least, and it is extremely unlikely to go undetected for long.
