Hi, git version 1.8.4.2 Linux 3.0.74-0.6.8-xen "git commit" does not properly reevaluate the state after the pre-commit hook has been executed, and lists files which have been reset as part of the commit, and will create an empty commit, despite that no "--allow-empty" was given. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a tracked file called "ignoreme" 2. Add the following line to ".git/hooks/pre-commit": git reset HEAD ignoreme 3. Make a change to the ignoreme file 4. Run "git commit -a" Result: The commit template will still list the file: # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: ignoreme # Adding a commit message will create an empty commit: ign2$ git --no-pager diff HEAD^ HEAD ign2$ Expected behavior: - Git should refuse to continue if the pre-commit hook resets all changes - The commit message should not list files removed from the index Best Regards Gunnar Strand -- 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
