Then when you add new arguments, the hook has to search through the

of options remains relatively small, I think that is preferable.

We could also just pass them through the environment, which gives nice
named parameters.

See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/148479 for an
earlier conversation on this exact topic. Also, see

Thanks for the links; I had no recollection of that thread.
Unsurprisingly, I like the "HEAD"/"HEAD~1" suggestion. That "peff" guy
seems really clever (and handsome, too, I'll bet).

I'd still be OK with any of the suggestions given in this thread,
though.

Apparently our combined handsome-foo was insufficient to get this accepted way back when, hopefully the current submitter has more :^)

In any event, I've carried the patches using HEAD/HEAD~1 in my tree for the last 4+ years, have a widely used pre-commit script that depends upon those. So, I personally would be very happy to see this finally show up in Junio's tree, would prefer HEAD/HEAD~1 but can adapt to whatever.
