Explore use of pre-receive hooks (vs pre-commit hooks) #65

Open TSGreen opened 11 months ago

Due to the short-comings of pre-commit hooks, namely that a local user is not forced to use it even when present, and that pre-commit hooks can be bypassed by a user, there was discussion around whether hooks that reject incoming pushes that fail certain checks would be more appropriate.

Reading through this useful information about the various types of Git Hooks that exist, it appears pre-receive hooks, as part of the server side hooks, are the relevant ones.
