Check for a log message prior to allowing a commit

This configuration checks that the user has added a message along with their commit via the CommitRequirements element. If no comment is added, the commit will fail and the user will get the failure message explaining why. This also demonstrates that you can have more than one CommitRequirement element. At least one will need to be satisfied in order for the commit to be allowed.
