When looking at a file, say pd/src/s_file.c, then there are be dd-

cvs mailing list, I can live with seeing the dd commit messages
there. ;)

Many repositories have scripted commit policies that check all sorts
of things before allowing a commit, things like it needs to compile,
it needs not use deprecate libraries, etc. etc.
