GIT ignores commit-msg hook

Question

Recently I migrated from opensuse to centos and after that GIT has started to ignore my custom commit-msg hook. It simply doesn't execute it. (I checked it by add small piece of code to "add_ChangeId" function )

Hook generates Change-Id hash for every commit
GIT version: 1.8.1.2
File is located in following location: .git/hooks/
For debugging purposes I even have set 0777 permissions to the whole .git directory

Here is the full text of commit-msg file - http://pastebin.com/zmYNi0ED

Can you execute your file without git, just running .git/hooks/scriptname? — timoras, Jul 05 '13 at 03:20

timoras you are gold. Then I tried to execute script using sh .git/hooks/scriptname it worked, but when tried to call it using .git/hooks/scriptname and shell returned that I haven't permissions to execute it.

After that I looked at fstab, and found out that have forgot to add exec flag to the partition where this file was located.

Now everything works.

One more time thanks timoras!
