/**
 * Extension point for validating and modifying content changes. Available
 * commit hooks are called in sequence to process incoming content changes
 * before they get persisted and shared with other clients.
 * 
 * A commit hook can throw a {@link CommitFailedException} for a particular
 * change to prevent it from being persisted, or it can modify the changes
 * for example to update an in-content index or to add auto-generated content.
 * 
 * Note that instead of implementing this interface directly, most commit
 * editors and validators are better expressed as implementations of the
 * more specific extension interfaces defined in this package.
