Subject: [PATCH v2 8/8] hook: add -z option to "git hook list"
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 00:23:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218222352.55393-9-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218222352.55393-1-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com>
Add a NUL-terminate mode to git hook list, just in case hooks are
configured with weird characters like newlines in their names.
Suggested-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
