remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/gdb-7.9-branch
To git+ssh://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
! [remote rejected] gdb-7.9-branch -> gdb-7.9-branch (hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git'
There was no unresolved conflicts in the commit I tried to push. Why
does the hook insist on forcing me to remove the "Conflicts:" part,
instead of looking for the merge-commit conflict markers? Why do we
care about leaving the reference to original conflicts in the log?
