When committing I get:
.git/hooks/pre-commit: 38: Syntax error: redirection unexpected

@tuomastielinen #!/bin/sh on Ubuntu is using the dash shell which does not have the <<< redirection operator.
Simply change the shell to bash #!/bin/bash.

Danger Will Robinson!

If the vault is encrypted on the file system but unencrypted in the staging area then this hook will let the commit go through causing an unencrypted vault to be committed.

Fix:

Change line 23 to:

  MATCH=`git show :$f | head -n1 | grep --no-messages $REQUIRED`

git show uses the file content as it is in the git staging, not the file system.
