This hook thought to have found a conflict marker any time it saw a 7-character combination of any of the characters '<>=' at the beginning of a line, whereas it should only look for the *same* character to appear repeatedly. Also, restrict it to match exactly 7 times, to avoid matching the underlining with '='-characters often used in documentation. Signed-off-by: Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@xxxxxx> --- As far as I know, this will still properly match all conflict markers, even those by cvs or svn. templates/hooks--pre-commit | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/templates/hooks--pre-commit b/templates/hooks--pre-commit index 7092bae..b25dce6 100644 --- a/templates/hooks--pre-commit +++ b/templates/hooks--pre-commit @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ perl -e ' if (/^\s* \t/) { bad_line("indent SP followed by a TAB", $_); } - if (/^(?:[<>=]){7}/) { + if (/^([<>])\1{6} |^={7}$/) { bad_line("unresolved merge conflict", $_); } } -- 1.5.3.8 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
