[PATCHv2 2/4] git-merge: Honor pre-commit hook based on config

From
Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>
Date
Sep 6, 2012, 14:25 UTC
Message-ID
<882ac21b36f2498492f6ca2be2df6c446b3a290b.1346939542.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net>
In-Reply-To
<50487F8A.4050803@alum.mit.edu>

git-merge does not honor the pre-commit hook when doing automatic merge commits, and for compatibility reasons this is going to stay.

Introduce a merge.usePreCommitHook which controls whether an automatic merge commit invokes pre-commit.
