I have a repository where I'd like to run a program every time the
working tree is updated. githooks(5) specifies that you can use
post-{checkout,merge} hooks to hook into those two operations.
However that doesn't catch e.g. "git reset --hard". Is there any
reason beside omission that there isn't a post-reset hook? Or hooks
for any other thing (most of which surely slip my mind) which can
update the working tree?

You could create an alias like "git resetr" that runs the script. v/r, neal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Even having to check to find out no hook needs to be run is considered wasted cycles. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/79314/focus=79321 I'd especially rather not to see a hook on something as low level as "reset". It would be too tempting to use "reset" itself inside a hook that is run from the post-reset hook, and I do not want to complicate the code even further to give callers to ask disabling the hook. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
