Reimplement emailing part of hooks--update in contrib/hooks/post-receive-email The update hook is no longer the correct place to generate emails; there is now the hooks/post-receive script which is run automatically after a ref has been updated. This patch is to make use of that new location, and to address some faults in the old update hook. The primary problem in the conversion was that in the update hook, the ref has not actually been changed, but is about to be. In the post-receive hook the ref has already been updated. That meant that where we previously had lines like: git rev-list --not --all would now give the wrong list because "--all" in the post-receive hook includes the ref that we are making the email for. This made it more difficult to show only the new revisions added by this update. The solution is not pretty; however it does work and doesn't need any changes to git-rev-list itself. It also fixes (more accurately: reduces the likelihood of) a nasty race when another update occurs while this script is running. The solution, in short, looks like this (see the source code for a longer explanation) git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) | git rev-list --pretty --stdin $oldrev..$newrev This uses git-rev-parse followed by grep to filter out the revision of the ref in question before it gets to rev-list and inhibits the output of itself. By using $(git rev-parse $revname) rather than $newrev as the filter, it also takes care of the situation where another update to the same ref has been made since $refname was $newrev. The second problem that is addressed is that of tags inhibiting the correct output of an update email. Consider this, with somebranch and sometag pointing at the same revision: git push origin somebranch git push origin sometag That would work fine; the push of the branch would generate an email containing all the new commits introduced by the update, then the push of the tag would generate the shortlog formatted tag email. Now consider: git push origin sometag git push origin somebranch When some branch comes to run its "--not --all" line, it will find sometag, and filter those commits from the email - leaving nothing. That meant that those commits would not show (in full) on any email. The fix is to not use "--all", and instead use "--branches" in the git-rev-parse command. Other changes * Lose the monstrous one-giant-script layout and put things in easy to digest functions. This makes it much easier to find the place you need to change if you wanted to customise the output. I've also tried to write more verbose comments for the same reason. The hook script is big, mainly because of all the different cases that it has to handle, so being easy to navigate is important. * All uses of "git-command" changed to "git command", to cope better if a user decided not to install all the hard links to git; * Cleaned up some of the English in the email * The fact that the receive hook makes the ref available also allows me to use Shawn Pearce's fantastic suggestion that an annotated tag can be parsed with git-for-each-ref. This removes the potentially non-portable use of "<<<" heredocs and the nasty messing around with "date" to convert numbers of seconds UTC to a real date * Deletions are now caught and notified (briefly) * To help with debugging, I've retained the command line mode from the update hook; but made it so that the output is not emailed, it's just printed to the screen. This could then be redirected if the user wanted * Removed the "Hello" from the beginning of the email - it's just noise, and no one seriously has their day made happier by "friendly" programs * The fact that it doesn't rely on repository state as an indicator any more means that it's far more stable in its output; hopefully the same arguments will always generate the same email - even if the repository changes in the future. This means you can easily recreate an email should you want to. * Included Jim Meyering's envelope sender option for the sendmail call * The hook is now so big that it was inappropriate to copy it to every repository by keeping it in the templates directory. Instead, I've put a comment saying to look in contrib/hooks, and given an example of calling the script from that template hook. The advantage of calling the script residing at some fixed location is that if a future package of git included a bug fixed version of the script, that would be picked up automatically, and the user would not have to notice and manually copy the new hook to every repository that uses it.

# Copyright (c) 2007 Andy Parkins
#
# An example hook script to mail out commit update information. This hook sends emails
# listing new revisions to the repository introduced by the change being reported. The
# rule is that (for branch updates) each commit will appear on one email and one email
# only.
#
# This hook is stored in the contrib/hooks directory. Your distribution will have put
# this somewhere standard. You should make this script executable then link to it in
# the repository you would like to use it in. For example, on debian the hook is stored
# in /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email:
#
# chmod a+x post-receive-email
# cd /path/to/your/repository.git
# ln -sf /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email hooks/post-receive
#
# This hook script assumes it is enabled on the central repository of a project, with
# all users pushing only to it and not between each other. It will still work if you
# don't operate in that style, but it would become possible for the email to be from
# someone other than the person doing the push.
#
# Config
# ------
# hooks.mailinglist
# This is the list that all pushes will go to; leave it blank to not send
# emails for every ref update.
# hooks.announcelist
# This is the list that all pushes of annotated tags will go to. Leave it
# blank to default to the mailinglist field. The announce emails lists the
# short log summary of the changes since the last annotated tag.
# hook.envelopesender
# If set then the -f option is passed to sendmail to allow the envelope sender
# address to be set
#
# Notes
# -----
# All emails have their subjects prefixed with "[SCM]" to aid filtering.
# All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
# "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
# give information for debugging.
#
# ---------------------------- Functions
#
# Top level email generation function. This decides what type of update
# this is and calls the appropriate body-generation routine after outputting
# the common header

# care of by the functions it calls:
# - generate_email_header
# - generate_create_XXXX_email
# - generate_update_XXXX_email
# - generate_delete_XXXX_email

# Consider this:
# 1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N
#
# O is $oldrev for $refname
# N is $newrev for $refname
# X is a revision pointed to by some other ref, for which we may
# assume that an email has already been generated.
# In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions
# 3, 4, and N. Given (almost) by
#
# git-rev-list N ^O --not --all
#
# The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
# precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
#
# git-rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
#
# So, we need to build up the list more carefully. git-rev-parse will
# generate a list of revs that may be fed into git-rev-list. We can get
# it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out the "^N" with:
#
# git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
#
# Then, using the --stdin switch to git-rev-list we have effectively
# manufactured
#
# git-rev-list N ^O ^X
#
# This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository
# while this script is running. Their new value of the ref we're working
# on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as our $newrev
# would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude all of our
# commits. What we really want is to exclude the current value of
# $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself. So:
#
# git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git-rev-parse $refname)
#
# Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time between
# refname being read, and git-rev-parse running - for that, I give up)
#
#
# Next problem, consider this:
# * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
# \
# * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
#
# That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict subset of
# newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's allowed). So, we
# can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev. Instead we find the common
# base of the two revs and list from there.
#
# As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if another
# branch is already in the repository and points at some of the revisions
# that we are about to output - we don't want them. The solution is as
# before: git-rev-parse output filtered.
#
# Finally, tags:
# 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
#
# Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that
# summarise the commits between them and the previous tag. However,
# those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output
# for a branch update. Therefore we still want to output revisions
# that have been output on a tag email.
#
# Luckily, git-rev-parse includes just the tool. Instead of using "--all"
# we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that "remotes/" will
# be ignored as well.
# List all of the revisions that were removed by this update, in a fast forward
# update, this list will be empty, because rev-list O ^N is empty. For a non
# fast forward, O ^N is the list of removed revisions

Reimplement emailing part of hooks--update in contrib/hooks/post-receive-email The update hook is no longer the correct place to generate emails; there is now the hooks/post-receive script which is run automatically after a ref has been updated. This patch is to make use of that new location, and to address some faults in the old update hook. The primary problem in the conversion was that in the update hook, the ref has not actually been changed, but is about to be. In the post-receive hook the ref has already been updated. That meant that where we previously had lines like: git rev-list --not --all would now give the wrong list because "--all" in the post-receive hook includes the ref that we are making the email for. This made it more difficult to show only the new revisions added by this update. The solution is not pretty; however it does work and doesn't need any changes to git-rev-list itself. It also fixes (more accurately: reduces the likelihood of) a nasty race when another update occurs while this script is running. The solution, in short, looks like this (see the source code for a longer explanation) git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) | git rev-list --pretty --stdin $oldrev..$newrev This uses git-rev-parse followed by grep to filter out the revision of the ref in question before it gets to rev-list and inhibits the output of itself. By using $(git rev-parse $revname) rather than $newrev as the filter, it also takes care of the situation where another update to the same ref has been made since $refname was $newrev. The second problem that is addressed is that of tags inhibiting the correct output of an update email. Consider this, with somebranch and sometag pointing at the same revision: git push origin somebranch git push origin sometag That would work fine; the push of the branch would generate an email containing all the new commits introduced by the update, then the push of the tag would generate the shortlog formatted tag email. Now consider: git push origin sometag git push origin somebranch When some branch comes to run its "--not --all" line, it will find sometag, and filter those commits from the email - leaving nothing. That meant that those commits would not show (in full) on any email. The fix is to not use "--all", and instead use "--branches" in the git-rev-parse command. Other changes * Lose the monstrous one-giant-script layout and put things in easy to digest functions. This makes it much easier to find the place you need to change if you wanted to customise the output. I've also tried to write more verbose comments for the same reason. The hook script is big, mainly because of all the different cases that it has to handle, so being easy to navigate is important. * All uses of "git-command" changed to "git command", to cope better if a user decided not to install all the hard links to git; * Cleaned up some of the English in the email * The fact that the receive hook makes the ref available also allows me to use Shawn Pearce's fantastic suggestion that an annotated tag can be parsed with git-for-each-ref. This removes the potentially non-portable use of "<<<" heredocs and the nasty messing around with "date" to convert numbers of seconds UTC to a real date * Deletions are now caught and notified (briefly) * To help with debugging, I've retained the command line mode from the update hook; but made it so that the output is not emailed, it's just printed to the screen. This could then be redirected if the user wanted * Removed the "Hello" from the beginning of the email - it's just noise, and no one seriously has their day made happier by "friendly" programs * The fact that it doesn't rely on repository state as an indicator any more means that it's far more stable in its output; hopefully the same arguments will always generate the same email - even if the repository changes in the future. This means you can easily recreate an email should you want to. * Included Jim Meyering's envelope sender option for the sendmail call * The hook is now so big that it was inappropriate to copy it to every repository by keeping it in the templates directory. Instead, I've put a comment saying to look in contrib/hooks, and given an example of calling the script from that template hook. The advantage of calling the script residing at some fixed location is that if a future package of git included a bug fixed version of the script, that would be picked up automatically, and the user would not have to notice and manually copy the new hook to every repository that uses it.

Reimplement emailing part of hooks--update in contrib/hooks/post-receive-email The update hook is no longer the correct place to generate emails; there is now the hooks/post-receive script which is run automatically after a ref has been updated. This patch is to make use of that new location, and to address some faults in the old update hook. The primary problem in the conversion was that in the update hook, the ref has not actually been changed, but is about to be. In the post-receive hook the ref has already been updated. That meant that where we previously had lines like: git rev-list --not --all would now give the wrong list because "--all" in the post-receive hook includes the ref that we are making the email for. This made it more difficult to show only the new revisions added by this update. The solution is not pretty; however it does work and doesn't need any changes to git-rev-list itself. It also fixes (more accurately: reduces the likelihood of) a nasty race when another update occurs while this script is running. The solution, in short, looks like this (see the source code for a longer explanation) git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) | git rev-list --pretty --stdin $oldrev..$newrev This uses git-rev-parse followed by grep to filter out the revision of the ref in question before it gets to rev-list and inhibits the output of itself. By using $(git rev-parse $revname) rather than $newrev as the filter, it also takes care of the situation where another update to the same ref has been made since $refname was $newrev. The second problem that is addressed is that of tags inhibiting the correct output of an update email. Consider this, with somebranch and sometag pointing at the same revision: git push origin somebranch git push origin sometag That would work fine; the push of the branch would generate an email containing all the new commits introduced by the update, then the push of the tag would generate the shortlog formatted tag email. Now consider: git push origin sometag git push origin somebranch When some branch comes to run its "--not --all" line, it will find sometag, and filter those commits from the email - leaving nothing. That meant that those commits would not show (in full) on any email. The fix is to not use "--all", and instead use "--branches" in the git-rev-parse command.

Reimplement emailing part of hooks--update in contrib/hooks/post-receive-email The update hook is no longer the correct place to generate emails; there is now the hooks/post-receive script which is run automatically after a ref has been updated. This patch is to make use of that new location, and to address some faults in the old update hook. The primary problem in the conversion was that in the update hook, the ref has not actually been changed, but is about to be. In the post-receive hook the ref has already been updated. That meant that where we previously had lines like: git rev-list --not --all would now give the wrong list because "--all" in the post-receive hook includes the ref that we are making the email for. This made it more difficult to show only the new revisions added by this update. The solution is not pretty; however it does work and doesn't need any changes to git-rev-list itself. It also fixes (more accurately: reduces the likelihood of) a nasty race when another update occurs while this script is running. The solution, in short, looks like this (see the source code for a longer explanation) git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) | git rev-list --pretty --stdin $oldrev..$newrev This uses git-rev-parse followed by grep to filter out the revision of the ref in question before it gets to rev-list and inhibits the output of itself. By using $(git rev-parse $revname) rather than $newrev as the filter, it also takes care of the situation where another update to the same ref has been made since $refname was $newrev. The second problem that is addressed is that of tags inhibiting the correct output of an update email. Consider this, with somebranch and sometag pointing at the same revision: git push origin somebranch git push origin sometag That would work fine; the push of the branch would generate an email containing all the new commits introduced by the update, then the push of the tag would generate the shortlog formatted tag email. Now consider: git push origin sometag git push origin somebranch When some branch comes to run its "--not --all" line, it will find sometag, and filter those commits from the email - leaving nothing. That meant that those commits would not show (in full) on any email. The fix is to not use "--all", and instead use "--branches" in the git-rev-parse command. Other changes * Lose the monstrous one-giant-script layout and put things in easy to digest functions. This makes it much easier to find the place you need to change if you wanted to customise the output. I've also tried to write more verbose comments for the same reason. The hook script is big, mainly because of all the different cases that it has to handle, so being easy to navigate is important. * All uses of "git-command" changed to "git command", to cope better if a user decided not to install all the hard links to git; * Cleaned up some of the English in the email * The fact that the receive hook makes the ref available also allows me to use Shawn Pearce's fantastic suggestion that an annotated tag can be parsed with git-for-each-ref.
