 # Pre-push hook for the tarpc repository. To use this hook, copy it to .git/hooks in your repository
 # root.
 #
-# This hook runs tests to make sure only working code is being pushed. If present, rustup is used
-# to build and test the code on the appropriate toolchains. The working copy must not contain
-# uncommitted changes, since the script currently just runs cargo build/test in the working copy.
+# This hook ensures the working copy does not contain uncommitted changes, as it is a common error
+# to test locally using a dirty working copy without realizing the tests are using a dirty working
+# copy.
 #
-# Options:
-#
-# - TARPC_ALLOW_DIRTY, default = 0
-#
-#   Setting this variable to 1 will run tests even though there are code changes in the working
-#   copy. Set to 0 by default, since the intent is to test the code that's being pushed, not changes
-#   still in the working copy.
-#
-# Note that these options are most useful for testing the hooks themselves. Use git push --no-verify
-# to skip the pre-push hook altogether.
