Yes, the file was called test.txt and add a line to that file. Then I
tried to git commit -a without adding the file first.
Yes it is a version of ash not sure which.
I changed to bash 3.2.17(2)-release and got:
/usr/local/bin/git-commit: line 577: /usr/local/test/.git/hooks/
commit-msg: Permission denied
Then ran:
chmod +x /usr/local/cpanel/.git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x /usr/local/cpanel/.git/hooks/commit-msg
chmod +x /usr/local/cpanel/.git/hooks/post-commit
Then it worked as expected. I'm not sure why those hooks weren't made
executable after git init..

On FreeBSD 5.5 if you use git commit -a you get this error:

Did you forget to 'git add'?
If I add the file and commit it works as expected.
So you had a file '-a', you haven't added it, and "git commit -a"
said "I do not know that file --- did you forget to 'git add'?",
and you added the file '-a' and then "git commit -a" committed?
I do not think that is what you are reporting. Your file was
not '-a' but something else, and you did "git add that-file" and
tried commit again. What did you exactly say in that second
attempt?
"git commit" or "git commit -a" or "git commit that-file"?
I am smelling a /bin/sh breakage that did not shift '-a' from
the $@ list when it was asked to. What shell does FBSD 5.5 ship
with? If it is /bin/ash, do you have other shells on the box to
try so that we can isolate the problem (say, ksh or pdksh)?
