Hi there,
I have a problem executing a pre-commit hook.
The hook script has to change the working directory to work and if I use plain
git commit
it works as expected, the script executes without errors, but if I use
git commit —only file.x file.y
the script fails because changing the current working directory fails.
If I echo the current working directory it always echoes the root repository path
Is this expected behavior?
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Sebastian

Yes, we always go to the top before doing anything.
If you echo environment variables Git may set up for you, what do
you see? Do you see GIT_PREFIX that you can use to tell where you
came from, or something like that?

Is there any chance to send us the content of the script ?
(Or a demo example, which doesn't work)
