Subject: [PATCH] [pre-commit] Fix codespell-log hook
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 18:54:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716165436.1416427-1-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
A recent commit added this top-level setting to .pre-commit-config.yaml:
...
files: '^(gdb|gdbserver|gdbsupport)/'
...
This broke the codespell-log hook, which is a commit-msg hook, which is called
with the commit message as first argument.
However, the top-level files setting filters out .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG, with the
consequence that the commit-msg hook is no longer called.
It seems obvious to me that this is a pre-commit bug: the files field is there
to filter files in the repository, which .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG is not one of.
But upstream disagrees [1].
Use the workaround suggested as fix upstream: include .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG in
the default files set.
[ FWIW, that still doesn't fix something like this:
...
$ tmp=$(mktemp)
$ echo 'msg' > $tmp
$ pre-commit run --hook-stage commit-msg --commit-msg-filename $tmp
...
I wanted to mention that upstream, but I couldn't because I was already locked
out of commenting on the issue I filed. ]
Alternatively, we can drop the top-level files setting, and revert to
per-hook settings.
