I think that'd be taking it too far, especially given that the dependency
on a typedefs list means that the git hook might have a different idea
of what's correctly indented than the committer does. It'd be very hard
to debug such discrepancies and figure out what would satisfy the hook.
In the end we're trying to minimize the net amount of pain involved.
I doubt that mechanized enforcement would fall at the global minimum.
