Checking commit message in TortoiseHG

I wonder if it is possible in TortoisHG, like in TortoiseSVN, to check if a commit message includes an issue id? In TortoiseSVN you could set the bugtraq properties on the repo to make a dialog box pop up and warn if an id was not included, and I am looking for a way to do the same thing (still need it to be possible to check in, just show a warning that id is not included and be able to abort the commit if you want to).

Thanks in advance Jonas H.

This dialog in TortoiseHg 2.4's settings looks like what you want:

I only know about the setting issue.linkmandatory = True which forces entry of an issue reference specified in issue.regex and issue.link on every commit.

As far as I know, nothing like that is possible directly in TortoiseHG.
But TortoiseHG is only a GUI for Mercurial, and in Mercurial, you can do stuff like that with hooks.

See chapter 10 in the HG book for a general desription of what hooks are and how they work:
Handling repository events with hooks

There is even a specific example in this chapter that rolls back a commit if it doesn't contain a bug id.
