OK, went down this path and hit a brick wall. What if this is the first time a new ref is being pushed? Then, old-ref is 000000 and git diff --raw throws up a hairball :) --- [12:23][cpatti@build1:~/src/relengtest(test-branch)]$ git push origin test-branch Counting objects: 10, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (7/7), done. Writing objects: 100% (7/7), 684 bytes, done.

Syntax checker hook is malfunctioning.  Can't execute git diff --raw.
Failing gracefully and allowing this push.
To /home/git/relengtest
 * [new branch]      test-branch -> test-branch
Any further thoughts?

Thanks! -Chris
