Okay, that seems in line with a hook such as pre-commit. Please do update the documentation to mention that the hook takes no arguments and nothing on standard input, and perhaps describe in the documentation an example use-case (as you did here). I'm not a p4 or git-p4 user, but, out of curiosity, would there be any information which could be supplied to the hook as arguments or standard input (or both) which would help the hook author implement the hook more easily? Perhaps such information would be fodder for a future enhancement (not necessarily needed for this patch). > The hook actually stops the submit process from start instead of abort > submit in midway. > So nothing is touched when hook exits with status 1.
