It sounds like you want the "pre-commit" hook rather than "commit-msg". But that aside, the solution is to use plumbing commands to examine the state. You probably want "git diff-index --cached --name-only" to get the list of files that are being committed. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
