We can't enforce everything, but I believe it's at least possible to enforce the format of the 
commit message we want. Each commit is passed through our commit hooks on the server. 
In these commit hooks we can define the basic requirements for our commit messages so 
they become useful for later automatic processing later on.

We can gradually improve on this based on real experience.
