Users can have their own system-wide hook directory (symlink). That directory (symlink) is copied during git-clone. If we replace some file in that hook directory it could simply mean that we replace system-wide hook. So rather replace the hook directory itself to keep the system-wide hooks untouched. --- try-fedora-review | 10 ++++------ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/try-fedora-review b/try-fedora-review index eb810cc..f805182 100755 --- a/try-fedora-review +++ b/try-fedora-review @@ -40,12 +40,10 @@ if cur_branch == "master": # let's setup a proper git commit hooks so people don't commit ugly code # accidentally devnull = open('/dev/null', 'w') -subprocess.call(['ln', '-s', '../../git-hooks/pre-commit', - os.path.join(main_dir, '.git/hooks/pre-commit')], - stderr=devnull) -subprocess.call(['ln', '-s', '../../git-hooks/post-commit', - os.path.join(main_dir, '.git/hooks/post-commit')], - stderr=devnull) + +hooks_dir=os.path.join(main_dir, '.git/hooks') +subprocess.call(['rm', '-rf', hooks_dir], stderr=devnull) +subprocess.call(['ln', '-s', '../git-hooks', hooks_dir], stderr=devnull) review = ReviewHelper() rc = review.run()
