-This is optional, and doesn't make sense for all RCSs.
+It should examine the incoming changes, and do any sanity 
+checks that are appropriate for the RCS to limit changes to safe file adds,
+removes, and changes. If something bad is found, it should exit
+nonzero, to abort the push. Otherwise, it should return a list of
+files that were changed, in the form:
+
+	{
+		file => # name of file that was changed
+		action => # either "add", "change", or "remove"
+		path => # temp file containing the new file content, only
+			# needed for "add"/"change", and only if the file
+			# is an attachment, not a page
+	}
+
+The list will then be checked to make sure that each change is one that
+is allowed to be made via the web interface.
