You put this in as a pre-commit script? Nope, I use it before sending patches out with git send-email. But you can use this as .git/hooks/commit-msg, just skip taking the tree as second argument, something like this (just quickly tested): #!/bin/sh grep "^Fixes: " "${1}" | while read -r f; do sha="$(echo "${f}" | cut -d' ' -f2)" if [ -z "${sha}" ] || [ "${f}" != "$(git show -s --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" "${sha}" 2>/dev/null)" ]; then echo "Bad tag: ${f}" && exit 1 fi done -- Stefano
