Git hooks not working

[beckmi]

we are testing Git for our project:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xoops/

Everything works OK except per repository access control and hooks.
Access control: we need group based or user based access control to specific repository, thus we consider using pre-commit hook.
However, we can only get post-receive hook working. It seems that all other hooks, like pre-commit, commit-msg, post-commit are not triggered.

Can somebody help us?

Greetings,

As commits are only done locally in Git, unlike non-DSCMS (SVN, for example), the pre-commit hooks and others of the sort only run on the local repository. All that happens remote is the pre/post-receive and other similar hooks. Please reference the Git docs for more info:

Thank you,
