This dirctory contains a set of git hook scripts which are useful when working with this repository to make the git commit id available when building simulators to uniquely identify the inputs to that build. It is ONLY useful for folks who clone this as a repository and build in the working directory of that repository. Folks who download zip or tarball archives of the repository have the git commit-id automatically inserted into the sim_rev.h file when the archive is created due to a substitution performed via this repository's .gitattributes. To use these scripts automatically, copy these files to the .git/hooks directory of the current repository. This can be done with the following commands: $ cd Visual\ Studio\ Projects/git-hooks $ chmod +x post* $ cp post* ../../.git/hooks/ Note: The makefile AND the Visual Studio Projects automatically will install these git hooks in the ../../.git/hooks/ directory if they're not already there and execute them as needed.
