Subject: [PATCH] mention use of "hooks.allownonascii" in "man githooks"
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.21.1902200250420.7360@localhost.localdomain>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.LFD.2.21.1902200250420.7360%40localhost.localdomain

```

The default pre-commit script checks the config variable
"hooks.allownonascii" to determine whether to allow non-ASCII file
names -- mention this in "man githooks", just as the section on
"update" mentions the use of "hooks.allowunannotated".
