From: Caleb Maclennan Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2013 01:35:10 +0000 (-0600) Subject: add sample hooks that allow cloning over extant files X-Git-Url: https://git.madduck.net/code/vcsh.git/commitdiff_plain/bca2d01e18e69ae7b602950ee640a08ea1c8cef0?hp=-c add sample hooks that allow cloning over extant files Cloning a repo over an existing set of files would usually cause a merge conflict that aborts the process and requires manual intervention. This pair of hooks handles that case by manually moving the extant objects out of the way, completing the checktout, then restoring them to their original places. The resulting state is a set of unstaged local changes. --- bca2d01e18e69ae7b602950ee640a08ea1c8cef0 diff --git a/doc/hooks b/doc/hooks index 30cd373..282ee86 100644 --- a/doc/hooks +++ b/doc/hooks @@ -15,11 +15,11 @@ Available hooks are: * pre-init * post-init * pre-merge - Use this hook to detect and handle merge conflicts before vcsh's native code + Use this hook to detect and handle merge conflicts before vcsh's native code finds and errors on them.
