<br>
I'm doing my first amended review for a VTK gerrit topic, following these instructions:<br>
<a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git#Gerrit" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/<u></u>Git#Gerrit</a><br>
Under Revise a Gerrit topic, I'm at the point where I'm running<br>
git commit --amend<br>
but it's failing with:<br>
<br>
Please initialize your local Git hooks.<br>
Paste the following commands into a shell:<br>
<br>
cd "/projects/birn/nicole/VTK/<u></u>VTKgerrit/.git/hooks"<br>
git init<br>
git pull .. remotes/origin/hooks<br>
cd ../..<br>
<br>
When I tried to do the git pull, it returns an error:<br>
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref remotes/origin/hooks<br>
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly<br>
<br>
When I look at the .git/hooks directory, there are files there:<br>
> ls<br>
total 88<br>
8 applypatch-msg.sample* 8 post-receive.sample* 8 pre-commit* 8 pre-rebase.sample*<br>
8 commit-msg.sample* 8 post-update.sample* 8 pre-commit.sample* 8 update.sample*<br>
8 post-commit.sample* 8 pre-applypatch.sample* 8 prepare-commit-msg.sample*<br>
<br>
but the commit still fails with the first error message asking me to initialize the local Git hooks. git remote returns:<br>
gerrit<br>
<br>
Any ideas what's going wrong? My initial workflow was to look at the code review and run the git fetch command:<br>
git fetch <a href="http://review.source.kitware.com/p/VTK" target="_blank">http://review.source.kitware.<u></u>com/p/VTK</a> refs/changes/47/2147/1 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD -b ruler-tweaks<br>
Is there a different workflow I should follow if I'm just revising a topic rather than starting from making a new topic myself?<br>
<br>

Maybe I’m being stupid, but if you are installing a pre-commit hook to<br>
check the hooks, why not just install the hooks you really want in the<br>
first place?<br>
</blockquote>
I considered that, but:<br>
<br>
- We want to share the hooks across many projects. It is much easier<br>
to have a single "hooks" branch history that we push to all of them<br>
than to merge changes into every project tree.<br>
<br>
- We want to use the most recent hooks the user has installed no<br>
matter what version of the project is configured.<br>
<br>
- I do not want to create logic in every project to decide when to<br>
overwrite the hook with an updated one.<br>
<br>
The current approach puts in a tiny script with logic that does not<br>
change when we want new hooks.<br>
<br>
