Yes, of course. I have not used hooks previously. For anyone that is
interested all I had to do is make a script
called post-checkout in .git/hooks with the following contents.
#!/bin/sh
# remove vendor/rails directory if not specified in .gitmodules
if [ -d vendor/rails ]
then
# vendor/rails exists
if ! grep -s -q vendor/rails .gitmodules
then
# vendor/rails not in .gitmodules, remove vendor/rails
rmdir vendor/rails
fi
fi
Yes I know this could probably be done much more concisely, but it is only
the third script I have written so I like to keep it simple and with
comments so that I can understand it.
