+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# An example hook script to check the commit log message.
+# Called by git-commit with one argument, the name of the file
+# that has the commit message.  The hook should exit with non-zero
+# status after issuing an appropriate message if it wants to stop the
+# commit.  The hook is allowed to edit the commit message file.
+#
+# To enable this hook, make this file executable.
+
+# Uncomment the below to add a Signed-off-by line to the message.
+# SOB=$(git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT | sed -n 's/^\(.*>\).*$/Signed-off-by: \1/p')
+# grep -qs "^$SOB" "$1" || echo "$SOB" >> "$1"
+
+# This example catches duplicate Signed-off-by lines.
+

+	echo >&2 Duplicate Signed-off-by lines.
