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.

Regards,
Albert-Jan
