I really do not think we should encourage this as a verification method. If you encourage it as such, I am sure people would complain "Why can't I bypass this hook with --no-verify!!!". I do not want to spend cycles defending the behaviour to error out on non-zero exit from the hook. Instead, I think you should _stress_ that people must _NOT_ use this as a replacement for pre-commit hook. The same comment applies to the comment in the example hook. - 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
