git fails out-of-the-box due to .git/hooks/pre-commit issues about git-osx-installer HOT 3 CLOSED

I can't reproduce this.

First: would you please run and post the results of "ls -l
/usr/local/git/share/git-core/templates/hooks"

Then, can you try to rm -rf /usr/local/git, and then reinstall, and see if it 
fixes
your issue?

The problem may be somehow the permissions of the files in
/usr/local/git/share/git-core/templates/hooks are executable - when they 
shouldn't be.

Bafflingly enough, when I removed and reinstalled it worked fine.  I installed
completely by the book both times, no fiddling!

Strange.  I definitely observed this but you can mark it as "can't reproduce".


I listed the hooks directory before and after, it was exactly the same (see 
below).

bash-3.2$ ls -l /usr/local/git/share/git-core/templates/hooks

Sorry to bother you!

You're fine :)  Thanks for the feedback.  I answer in a hurry sometimes because 
I'm very busy, and it may come 
across as I'm being bothered.

Have a great day!
