pre-commit hook not run on conflict resolution during rebase

When a rebase stops because of a conflict, and I edit the file to resolve the conflict and say "git rebase --continue", then the pre-commit hook doesn't run at that point, which means that I can commit bad stuff which the pre-commit hook would normally not allow in. We were bitten by this a few times already. (In our case, the hook rejects code that hasn't been run through clang-format. That's easy to forget when resolving conflicts during a rebase.)
From glancing through the githooks manpage, I couldn't see any other
hook that would help in this situation. Am I missing something? I guess the next best solution would be to also have a pre-push hook that performs the same checks again, just in case the bad code managed to get past the pre-commit hook for some reason or other. This feels very redundant, but I guess it would work well. Any other suggestions? -- Stefan Haller Berlin, Germany http://www.haller-berlin.de/
