git flow (avh edition) hooks are not executed

Question

I had the problem, that hooks that reside in my global hook directory ~/git-hooks are not executed.

Namely the git-flow dependent hook post-flow-release-start just wasn't called, while the hook pre-commit was called without any problems.

Answer 1

git-flow-avh is unable to deal with the ~ character in the path to the hooks. Changing it to an absolute path /Users/atripes/git-hooks worked.
