Thank you for the clarification! Is there any plan to support such a case in the future? Also, I've observed that the "post-index-change" hook is being triggered before calling the "reference-transaction" hook (with the "prepared" state). It seems not intuitive to me since the index and working dirs are being updated before approving the transaction. (the HEAD still points to an "old" reference while the "post-index-change" hook is executing).
