Egit hooks do not get triggered

(Original answer: June 2011)

MatrixFrog correctly points out to the bug 299315, which mentions those hooks aren’t supported yet.

You also can explore the JGit repository, now on GitHub, which doesn’t show any commit about hooks.
And you can search for ‘hook’ in the EGit User Guide: the notion of hook isn’t mentioned either.


Update March 2015 (4 years later): as MariuszS points out in the comments, “hook” is present in JGit.

In 2015, there are works in progress to support those hooks:

Those should be in the upcoming JGit 3.7


Update Q4 2015, EGit 4.x does support hooks, as mentioned in this answer.
