-# An example hook script to check the commit log message taken by
-# applypatch from an e-mail message.
-#
-# The hook should exit with non-zero status after issuing an
-# appropriate message if it wants to stop the commit.  The hook is
-# allowed to edit the commit message file.
-#
-# To enable this hook, rename this file to "applypatch-msg".
