From: Michael J Gruber <[email protected]>
git-merge does not honor the pre-commit hook when doing automatic merge
commits, and for compatibility reasons this is going to stay.
Introduce a pre-merge hook which is called for an automatic merge commit
just like pre-commit is called for a non-automatic merge commit (or any
other commit).
[js: addressed review comments:
* clarified that hook should write messages to stderr
* only discard the index if the hook is actually present
