Re: post-commit hook

Hello Victor,

ever tried to use the pre-commit hook?
I use the pre-commit hook also to do some checks, f.e. to check if the
changelog text is empty or there is a case sense conflict. If something
with the commit went wrong due to these checks, I write an error message
to stderr and exit the hook script with != 0. The client who tried to
commit his changes will get the error message I wrote to stderr as reply
to his commit trial.

I hope this helps.

Greetings,
Stefan
