So what about: The pre-commit hook used to check that the working copy has the .top* files. Instead of that assert that the tree that is about to be commited has these files. > +# I suspect this can't fail, but who knows > +tree=$(git write-tree) || > + die "Can't write tree" Actually you don't need to write the tree. You can use: git cat-file -t :0:.topdeps -> blob git cat-file blob :0:.topdeps | grep . Up to now I only shortly looked at your patches, but they seem to be OK. I hope I get around to push the changes later today. Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |
