Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: fix description for enabling hooks
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 03:59:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812170359.24109.markus.heidelberg@web.de> (raw)

Since f98f8cb (Ship sample hooks with .sample suffix, 2008-06-24) hooks
are not enabled by making them executable anymore, but by removing the
'.sample' suffix from the filename.
