Right. I have no solution to that.

Yes, it's a good idea. 

However, it works for me, Thomas, Stephan and Lauri, because we commit only 
for maintainance reasons, so we do not do that too often. But it does not 
prevent from reverting Scripty's commits.

Well, it's not too bad, as Scripty will patiently redo his work a few days 
later... as long as you do not revert _every_ commit from scripty as I have 
seen it in one team ;-).
