A common reason would be that a file included in the commit was not at the HEAD revision in your working copy. I believe these sort of checks do not happen until after the pre-commit hook is called. > I need to be sure that prepared external resources from pre-commit are > cleaned up - even in case it did fail.

There is no hook called if the commit fails. If you want to clean something up that you created during your pre-commit hook then write a background job that checks for stale information and cleans them up. Without a lot more details about what you are doing in your pre-commit hook I do not think there are any other suggestions that can be made. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
