PCRE passes even if ggrep is not installed on OS X
See original GitHub issueI was scratching my head because some hooks were passing even though they should clearly have failed.
When running run --all-files with the --verbose flag, I noticed why this was happening:
[do_not_commit] Block if "DO NOT COMMIT" is found..................................................................Passed
hookid: do_not_commit
Executable `ggrep` not found
It seems like the correct behaviour would be to fail and warn user to install ggrep?
For the record, I installed ggrep as follow: brew install homebrew/dupes/grep, and the hooks now fail as expected.

And I’m wrong again. Installing ggrep now worked. Sorry about this. I need a nap.
