Subject: bug#35368: [PATCH] Do potentially destructive operations in prepare-commit-msg

From: Konstantin Kharlamov <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2019 23:03:13 +0300

* build-aux/git-hooks/prepare-commit-msg: if someone occasionally puts
Signed-off line, it will likely get there through -s option of git.
Exploit this fact to abort before a user got a chance to type commit
message.
