pre-commit is skipped when commit contains only deleted files

[wood-jp]

🔧 Summary

The pre-commit hook is skipped when commit contains only deleted files.

Lefthook version

1.10.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a pre-commit hook defined (eg echo "hello world")

pre-commit:
  commands:
    "hello":
      run: echo "hello world"

3. Delete a file. Add to staged (no other changes).
4. Commit change.

Expected results

Pre-commit hook should run.

Actual results

Pre-commit hook does not run.

Possible Solution

I tried using files as defined here

pre-commit:
  commands:
    "hello":
      files: git diff --staged --name-only
      run: echo "hello world"

But that did not change the outcome. Perhaps the pre-commit hook does not consider this option, but should.
