No, there isn't, and even if there were, it would be trivial to bypass (such as by using git commit-tree, which does not run hooks). You haven't elaborated on why you want this, but typically the reason people ask for this is that they do some sort of data checking (testing or linting) in the pre-commit hook. Since that code runs on the author's system and is trivially bypassed (by simply deleting the hook), it isn't a good way to enforce policy; usually that should be done in a test or CI infrastructure. In addition, it's common for advanced users to make a series of temporary commits to save state and then squash them later. It wouldn't be reasonable for a pre-commit hook to enforce certain policies, such as a commit message syntax policy, in such a case, so --no-verify exists for users who know what they're doing and would like to bypass standard checking. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
