I didn't reply until now, but I'm solidly in the camp of committers
who care about keeping the tree properly indented, and I wouldn't have
any problem with such a check being imposed.

I regularly run pgindent locally, and if I ever commit without
indenting, it's either intentional, or because I forgot, so the
reminder would be useful.

And as someone who runs pgindent regularly, I think this will be a net
time saver, since I won't have to skip over other unrelated indent
changes all the time.

Dean
