Yes, me too, so I currently have a filter in my hook that ignores local
WIP branches. The problem with pre-push is that by the time you're
pushing you have already committed and you would have to go back and
undo some stuff to fix it. Probably 99 times out of 100 I'd prefer to
commit indented code off the bat rather than make a separate indentation
commit. But this really illustrates my point: how you do it is up to you.

Yes, but I think it's been demonstrated (again) that there's no
consensus in using those for this purpose.
