+"""
+A very simple pre-commit hook that, when passed one or more filenames
+as arguments, will sort the lines in those files.
+
+An example use case for this: you have a deploy-whitelist.txt file
+in a repo that contains a list of filenames that is used to specify
+files to be included in a docker container. This file has one filename
+per line. Various users are adding/removing lines from this file; using
+this hook on that file should reduce the instances of git merge
+conflicts and keep the file nicely ordered.
