To use this hook:
- add the
prepare-commit-msg
file at.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
and edit as needed - make it executable:
chmod +x .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
- disable fast-forward merges:
git config branch.master.mergeoptions "--no-ff"
- that's it!
NOTE: after a failed merge from a forbidden branch, the working tree will still be in a MERGING state. To discard the local working copy state, run:
git reset --merge
