The pre-commit-msg hook sample has an example that comments the "Conflicts:" part of the merge commmit. It isn't relevant anymore as it's done by default since 261f315b ("merge & sequencer: turn "Conflicts:" hint into a comment", 2014-08-28). Add an alternative example that replaces it. This ensures there's at the least a simple example that illustrates what could be done using the hook just by enabling it. Signed-off-by: Kaartic Sivaraam <kaarticsivaraam91196@xxxxxxxxx> --- This one's the final proposed patch for this simple hook. I have requested for suggestions for alternative scripts in the mailing list[1]. In case something interesting turns out, we could use that instead of this one.
