Hi Mandeep

How are you committing? If you're using Qt Creator's integrated commit editor, 
make sure that the "bypass hooks" option is de-selected.

If you're using the command-line or if the option is already de-selected, make 
sure that the script works. To do that, check that your .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG 
file does not contain a Change-Id, then run:

 .git/hooks/commit-msg .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG

And then see if the Change-Id showed up.
