Create fail_over Option

We support --cov-fail-under and fail_under options to fail tests when tests are under some coverage amount. https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/pull/141

In an effort to asymptotically get to 100%, some repos may want --cov-fail-over and fail_over options to ensure the fail_under config is updated.

I think it’s an opportune moment to start working on a hookspec so people can implement any checks like fail over and stop the endless process of adding cli options.

I suggest using https://codecov.io/ - it can provide status about the patch being covered, and also the project’s coverage not dropping. It defaults to having the patch covered by the amount of current coverage (IIRC), but can be made to check for it to be covered by e.g. 100%.

I suggest there’s no need to add this to pytest-cov at all. Let pytest run the tests. Let coverage report on coverage. See #337.
