As far as I can see, it should suffice to copy the scripts/pre-commit 
file into your <genometools dir>/.git/hooks directory, as Gordon pointed 
out.

Usually the script should be executable by itself if a Lua interpreter 
is installed:

$ scripts/src_check
Usage: scripts/src_check file [...]
Check C sources for accordance with coding standards.
$ lua -v
Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

Unfortunately I do not have access to this Lua version. The problem 
seems to be the "#arg" expression in l. 25 which refers to the number of 
elements in the argument array. Has the '#' operator been added only 
recently to the Lua language? I am puzzled... Can you try it again with 
a newer interpreter version? Or try replacing '#arg' with the more basic 
'table.getn(arg)' which should also return the size of the array.

If this works, give the file(s) to be checked for coding standards as 
arguments to the script.
