Description

The latest git commit-msg hook being used by whamcloud is using git-interpert-trailer which is not present on RedHAT systems. On our RHLE8 testbed I see:

".git/COMMIT_EDITMSG" 2934L, 83071C written
unknown option: --trailer
usage: git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c <name>=<value>]
           [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
           [-p | --paginate | -P | --no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
           [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
           <command> [<args>]
cannot insert change-id line in .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
