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> --- I have made the second patch depend on the first one to avoid conflicts that may occur. Further, it was meaningful to join the two patches as they would go together (or) not at all. templates/hooks--prepare-commit-msg.sample | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/templates/hooks--prepare-commit-msg.sample b/templates/hooks--prepare-commit-msg.sample index 86b8f227e..5a638ebda 100755 --- a/templates/hooks--prepare-commit-msg.sample +++ b/templates/hooks--prepare-commit-msg.sample @@ -9,8 +9,9 @@ # # To enable this hook, rename this file to "prepare-commit-msg". -# This hook includes three examples.
