Hi there,

I have a problem executing a pre-commit hook. The hook script has to change the working directory to work and if I use plain

git commit
it works as expected, the script executes without errors, but if I use
git commit —only file.x file.y

the script fails because changing the current working directory fails. If I echo the current working directory it always echoes the root repository path

Is this expected behavior? Thanks for your feedback.

Cheers Sebastian
