FWIW I sometimes have the same problem, but in all those cases the problem is my muscle memory that makes me add the `-a` option to `git commit` before I can stop myself. > If more information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me. > Since this is a significant part of my workflow, the failure of the > command to work in the expected way is fairly disruptive to my workflow. You could investigate further by setting GIT_TRACE=1 to see whether any other Git command is run from your hooks. In any case, if you desire help, the best way forward would be to generate a Minimal, Complete & Verifiable Example (MCVE, https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) that in particular does not require your particular setup such as hooks, specific Git version, etc. Ciao, Johannes > > Any help or thoughts would be appreciated! > > Kind Regards, > Beenish Khurshid, E.I.T I Applications Engineer > ANT Wireless | 124 - 30 Bow Street Common, Cochrane, AB, Canada T4C 2N1 > P: 587.493.4156 | F: 403.932.6521 > > > > > >
