 `git-p4 submit` from launching. Run `git-p4 submit --help` for details.
 
+post-index-changed
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked when the index is written in read-cache.c
+do_write_locked_index.
+
+The first parameter passed to the hook is the indicator for the
+working directory being updated.  "1" meaning working directory
+was updated or "0" when the working directory was not updated.
+
+The second parameter passed to the hook is the indicator for whether
+or not the index was updated and the skip-worktree bit could have
+changed.  "1" meaning skip-worktree bits could have been updated
+and "0" meaning they were not.
+
+Only one parameter should be set to "1" when the hook runs.  The hook
+running passing "1", "1" should not be possible.
