Why doesn't git-revert cause pre-commit and commit-msg locks?

Question

Using strace, I noticed that git-revert only calls two hooks:

• prepare commit messages
• after fixation

But git-commit will call these four:

• before fixing
• prepare commit messages
• commit-message
• after fixation

Since git-revert creates a commit, why doesn't it call the same hooks as git-commit?

I asked this on the Git mailing list but did not receive a response. Therefore, I ask here.

I ended up researching this when I implemented a hook to detect and deny commits that return merge-commits because they are problematic .

I tried to implement it as a commit-msg hook to search for the string "This returns SHA-1" in the commit message. But git-revert does not call hook-commit-msg.

git commit . (. ) :

    if (!(flags & VERIFY_MSG))
            argv_array_push(&cmd.args, "-n");

, git commit -n . -n:

pre-commit commit-msg

git commit. , VERIFY_MSG, - "" "" , git cherry-pick.
