Basically, I want to write a pre-commit hook to check if the about-to-be-committed changes (re)move a file without using git rm / git mv.
I don't know how to approach this.

What do you mean by "without using `git rm`/`git mv` - do you mean that you do not want to use either of these in the pre-commit hook? – Jean Hominal Sep 23 '14 at 08:52

I want to check if a file was removed with `rm` or moved with `mv` - so it was _not_ removed using `git rm` or moved using `git mv`. Moving with `mv` causes one to become author of the complete file, which is clumsy when running `git blame` for example. – musicmatze Sep 23 '14 at 08:56

Is the question about how to write a git pre-commit hook, or is it about programmatically checking the "about-to-be-committed" changes? Also, what do you intend to do once you find such a file? – Jean Hominal Sep 23 '14 at 13:17

You can use git commit --dry-run and inspect the output.

In a pre-commit hook ? Looks like the bash equivalent of a Stack Overflow to me... – Jean Hominal Sep 23 '14 at 13:10
