Hmm. t3404.40 does this:

        echo "#!/bin/sh" > $PRE_COMMIT &&
	echo "test -z \"\$(git diff --cached --check)\"" >>$PRE_COMMIT &&
	chmod a+x $PRE_COMMIT &&

So I'm pretty sure that $PRE_COMMIT script should be barfing each time
it is called on Solaris. I think the test itself doesn't notice because
"/bin/sh barfed" and "the pre-commit check said no" look the same from
git's perspective (both non-zero exits), and we test only cases where we
expect the hook to fail.

I think that particular test could simplify its pre-commit hook to just
"exit 1".

I didn't dig into any other cases, so that might be the only one. If
you're not seeing problems, I'm not inclined to explore each one
manually.

Thanks.
