Looks clean, has plenty of features, and I love the pricing schema (Unlimited for open source projects - Always been a fan of this trend).

Great work!

Thanks for the feedback, I am a fan of the pricing schema too!

I'd love it if you could make this work with Atlassian Stash behind a firewall.

I like the idea, but for projects that aren't open source, why not just mandate the use of a git commit-msg hook instead?

A git hook would certainly work for this as you described and I would certainly encourage people to investigate that route if it is appropriate for them. http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks

The goal for GitCop is to be fast and easy to set up in a way that integrates well into a GitHub pull request based flow.

I'm not too familiar with Atlassian Stash, I will have a search around and see how plausible it would be to integrate.
