postcheckout hook never exits during interactive rebase

[christianacca]

I've been struggling to resolve a problem with a postcheckout hook that is running during an git interactive rebase.

The symptoms of the problem are very obvious:

• git rebase somesha -i
• select that you want to reword one of the commit messages
• confirm your answers (in my case I'm rewording one of the commit messages)
• ... wait, wait, wait... give up waiting for the text editor to appear to prompt me to edit the commit message

This happens even for the simplest of postcheckout hooks.

For testing purposes I wrote the following hook which fails as described above:

package.json:

  "postcheckout": "node scripts/clean.js"

scripts/clean.js:

  process.exitCode = 0;

My setup is as follows:

• Windows 10
• node 6.2.2
• husky@0.11.9

Any pointers as to what I need to do to get the postcheckout hook to exit so that the interactive rebase can continue?

Thanks
Christian

Any news?

Also having this issue making git rebase -i pretty slow.

Closing as husky 5 may not have this issue.
