Subject: Inaccurate documentation for core.hooksPath?
Message-ID: <CABBKgan9hLme+9WTNNVrZXxqO4-VRGiC3RLQgfKFUHAy3QZvDA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

This documentation says that git only looks for hooks in the
configured core.hooksPath:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/config/core.txt#L499-L504

However, in my testing, git will run both hooks located in the
core.hooksPath directory and in the local git repo hooks directory
(.git/hooks by default). Observation of this behavior is documented in
https://github.com/cloud-gov/caulking/issues/37.

Is the behavior I'm seeing the actually expected behavior of git? Or
are we somehow relying on an edge-case or buggy behavior?

Thanks,
Mark
