Just thought I'd send my current progress so that effort isn't wasted
over night if others are thinking along similar lines. I'm attaching
an extremely rough-and-ready verifier here. I'm expecting lots more
bells and whistles would be needed, more user-friendly error
reporting, and more verification steps (at the moment it checks a
linear history only).

To use it:

Setup:
1. Generate a GitHub OAuth token for "repo:status" and "git config
llvm.token $TOK" with it.
2. Similarly config llvm.user to your GitHub username
3. Add "llvm" as a remote, pointing to the protected repository (in my
test-case git at github.com:TNorthover/tmp.git, usually
git at github.com:llvm/llvm.git).

Routine use:
3. Work on your feature branch (not the protected one, or at least a
fork of it otherwise step 4 will fail)
4. git push the feature to your fork.
5. Run "python git-llvm-check.py --branch master" in the git dir[1]
6. Run "git push llvm HEAD:master".

[1] In the usual case, the branch can be inferred (you'll be
developing on a fork of $thing, and want to push to $thing). But when
you don't have 2 GitHub accounts to test with it gets more
complicated. Simplest workaround is "--branch master".
