[PATCH] pre-commit.sample: Diff against the empty tree when HEAD is invalid

From
Björn Steinbrink <b.steinbrink@gmx.de>
Date

Message-ID
<20091105105757.GA31787@atjola.homenet>

This was already the case for the old "diff --check" call, but the new one that checks whether there are any non-ascii file names was missing it, making that check fail for root commits.
