It's a hack, but it works surprisingly well in practice (assuming that you and your co-workers all agree that this is an acceptable approach): 1. Write the hook script and add it to your project (in a git-hooks subdir or something) 2. Add a post-checkout hook to install the first hook and the post-checkout hook itself into the user's .git/hooks/ dir. 3. Tell your co-workers to run the post-checkout hook script manually the first time. After that, the script should take care of updating itself and any hooks that you add to the project. ...Johan -- Johan Herland, <johan@xxxxxxxxxxx> www.herland.net -- 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
