just noticed this in builtin/init-db.c:
... snip ...
#ifndef DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR
#define DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR "/usr/share/git-core/templates"
#endif
... snip ...
static void copy_templates_1(struct strbuf *path, struct strbuf *template_path,
DIR *dir)
{
size_t path_baselen = path->len;
size_t template_baselen = template_path->len;
struct dirent *de;
/* Note: if ".git/hooks" file exists in the repository being
* re-initialized, /etc/core-git/templates/hooks/update would
* cause "git init" to fail here. I think this is sane but
* it means that the set of templates we ship by default, along
* with the way the namespace under .git/ is organized, should
* be really carefully chosen.
*/
... snip ...
should the reference to /etc/core-git/templates/hooks/update instead
refer to the directory /usr/share/git-core/templates/..., given the
default directory defined just a few lines above it? (there is no such
directory, /etc/core-git/, on my system.)
more to the point, is that actually what the "update" hook does? i
just looked at the shipped sample, "update.sample", and it seems to be
related to tags:
#!/bin/sh
#
# An example hook script to block unannotated tags from entering.
# Called by "git receive-pack" with arguments: refname sha1-old sha1-new
#
# To enable this hook, rename this file to "update".
