Description of problem: git as shipped by Fedora and RHEL does not include contrib/hooks/*, which currently contains post-receive-email and update-paranoid. Upstream expects these to be shipped, and the post-receive hook installed in each Git repository refers to the contributed post-receive-email. People who want to turn on commit notification by email should not need to download the upstream tarball just to get one file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): git-core-1.5.3.3-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ql git-core | grep contrib Actual results: Nothing Expected results: contrib/hooks should be installed as part of git-core's documentation Additional info:
Bumping severity. We should commit one way or another -- either patch out those references to contrib/hooks in ${PROJECT}/.git/hooks/* or actually ship the files.
Ok, as of git-1.5.4.4-3 in rawhide, the example hooks are included in the docs dir.
