The reference manuals state in the hooks documentation that the pre-commit

pre-commit.sample in the 1.7.1 and 1.7.5.4 downloads do not appear to do
this (I'm new to linux scripts). The appear to only reject non-ascii
filenames. Does someone have a pre-commit hook example I can use to
reject
whitespace-only changes? Thanks!
As someone kindly pointed out, the documentation actually says:
"The default 'pre-commit' hook, when enabled, catches introduction of lines
with trailing whitespaces and aborts the commit when such a line is found."
I'm not seeing this functionality in the pre-commit.sample for 1.7.1 or
1.7.5.4.
I've never tried that hook script myself, but it appears to be on the last line:
exec git diff-index --check --cached $against --
In particular, the --check option says:
Warn if changes introduce trailing whitespace or an indent that
uses a space before a tab. Exits with non-zero status if problems are
found. Not compatible with --exit-code.
Ah ha! Thanks!
v/r,
