Created attachment 196138 [details, diff] Proposed bash script for pre-commit hook Updated version with a small fix for the "bad date" error message. Maybe I should also mention that I've tested the script in a local repository.
This NOT valid bash: if [[ ${file} != [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-+([-a-z0-9+_]).[a-z][a-z].txt?(.asc) ]]
Created attachment 200758 [details] pre-commit hook, take 4 (In reply to comment #5) > This NOT valid bash: > if [[ ${file} != > [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-+([-a-z0-9+_]).[a-z][a-z].txt?(.asc) > ]] I had tested it with bash 3.2.39 and 4.0.24 (and shopt -s extglob). New version using egrep is attached.
Created attachment 200759 [details] pre-commit hook, take 5 The condition has to be inverted of course... take 5 is attached.
