The current CI implementation makes it hard to discuss small changes to a bigger PR

---

In the travisscripts, the commit messages of a pr are checked to conform to a specific format. If they do not conform, the scripts fail very early skipping all 'real' tests.
This makes it impossible to add incremental changes in individual commits (later to be squashed) to an existing PR while stilll get reports for failing tests.
If commit message validation was extracted as a separate test, one could use for example the git commit --fixup aabbccdd feature of git, while the validator would still block the merge button.
