Hi Johan,

A colleague of mine noticed that cherry-pick does not accept the
--no-verify option to skip running the pre-commit/commit-msg hooks.
neither git-cherry-pick nor git-revert execute the pre-commit or
commit-msg hooks at the moment. The underlying rationale can be found in
the log message of commit 9fa4db5 (Do not verify
reverted/cherry-picked/rebased patches.). Indeed, the sequencer uses
git-commit internally which executes the two verify hooks by default.
However, the particular command line being used implicitly specifies the
--no-verify option. This behaviour is implemented in
sequencer.c#run_git_commit as well, right before the configurable
git-commit options are handled. I guess that's easily overlooked since
the documentation doesn't mention it and the implementation uses the
short version -n of --no-verify.
The reasons why the new test cases succeed nonetheless are manifold. I
hope they're still understandable even though I don't put the comments
next to the code.
The revert with failing hook test case fails if run in isolation,
which can be achieved by using the very cool --run option of test-lib.
More specifically, git-revert does not fail because it executes the
failing hook but because the preceding test case leaves behind an
uncommitted index.
In the cherry-pick with failing hook test case, git-cherry-pick really
fails because it doesn't know the --no-verify option yet, which
presumably ended up there only by accident. This test case is
meaningless if run in isolation because it assumes that revert with
failing hook creates a commit (else HEAD^ points nowhere).
I like your patchset for that it makes it explicit in both the
documentation and the tests whether the commits resulting from
cherry-picks are being verified or not.
Kind regards,
Fabian
Here's a first attempt at adding --no-verify to the revert/cherry-pick.
Have fun! :)
