The Demo Application Prerequisites:
Git or SVN with Pre-commit hooks
PHP Tools
Doxygen (potential replacement for PHPDocumentor)
Phing
Jenkins (for Continues Integration)

Common Pre-Commit Hooks
Commit Message Level:
Commit message has a specific format
number of characters (not empty, or at least 10)
regex: ^([BUGFIX]|[FEATURE]|[TASK])+ (.+n+)+nbuild: #d+$
File Level:
ascii filenames
file extensions
Code Level:
no Tabs
parse errors (php -l <file>)
PHP Codesniffer with certain standard

SVN Pre-Commit Hook Easy to install if root access, or at least subversion user access:
Create a common hooks directory (reuse)
Implement a pre-commit hook in the language of choice (#!/usr/bin/php)
Make the hook executable (744) and set right ownership (apache:subversion)
In your PROJECT_PATH_TO_REPOS/hooks folder create a pre-commit file
Point towards previous implemented general pre-commit hook(s)
Enjoy
