Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/18469 ## Jens Lehmann, 2009-03-22 18:46 Subject: [PATCH v2] githooks documentation: post-checkout hook is also called after clone Message-ID: <49C6878E.8060509@web.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/49C6878E.8060509%40web.de ``` The documentation of the post-checkout hook just talks about git-checkout. But recently git-clone was changed to call it too, unless the -no-checkout (-n) option is used. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann --- Thanks to Pat Notz for noticing that the hook is not called on clone when the --no-checkout (-n) option is used.
