Teach receive-pack to run pre-receive/post-receive hooks
Bill Lear pointed out that it is easy to send out notifications of changes with the update hook, but successful execution of the update hook does not necessarily mean that the ref was actually updated. Lock contention on the ref or being unable to append to the reflog may prevent the ref from being changed. Sending out notifications prior to the ref actually changing is very misleading. To help this situation I am introducing two new hooks to the receive-pack flow: pre-receive and post-receive. These new hooks are invoked only once per receive-pack execution and are passed three arguments per ref (refname, old-sha1, new-sha1). The new post-receive hook is ideal for sending out notifications, as it has the complete list of all refnames that were successfully updated as well as the old and new SHA-1 values. This allows more interesting notifications to be sent. Multiple ref updates could be easily summarized into one email, for example. The new pre-receive hook is ideal for logging update attempts, as it is run only once for the entire receive-pack operation. It can also be used to verify multiple updates happen at once, e.g. an update to the `maint` head must also be accompained by a new annotated tag. Lots of documentation improvements for receive-pack are included in this change, as we want to make sure the new hooks are clearly explained. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

pre-receive Hook
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
Before any ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive file exists
|
||||
and is executable, it will be invoked once, with three parameters
|
||||
per ref to be updated:
|
||||
|
||||
$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive (refname sha1-old sha1-new)+
|
||||
|
||||
The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
|
||||
head this is "refs/heads/master". The two sha1 arguments after
|
||||
each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
|
||||
the update. Refs to be created will have sha1-old equal to 0{40},
|
||||
while refs to be deleted will have sha1-new equal to 0{40}, otherwise
|
||||
sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
This hook is called before any refname is updated and before any
|
||||
fast-forward checks are performed.
|
||||
|
||||
If the pre-receive hook exits with a non-zero exit status no updates
|
||||
will be performed, and the update, post-receive and post-update
|
||||
hooks will not be invoked either. This can be useful to quickly
|
||||
bail out if the update is not to be supported.
|
||||

update Hook

Before each ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/update file exists

|
||||
|
||||
The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the
|
||||
master head this is "refs/heads/master". Two sha1 are the
|
||||
object names for the refname before and after the update. Note
|
||||
that the hook is called before the refname is updated, so either
|
||||
sha1-old is 0{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet), or it
|
||||
should match what is recorded in refname.

The hook should exit with non-zero status if it wants to

disallow updating the named ref. Otherwise it should exit with
|
||||
zero.

Using this hook, it is easy to generate mails on updates to

the local repository. This example script sends a mail with

the commits pushed to the repository:
|
||||
Successful execution (a zero exit status) of this hook does not
|
||||
ensure the ref will actully be updated, it is only a prerequisite.
|
||||
As such it is not a good idea to send notices (e.g. email) from
|
||||
this hook. Consider using the post-receive hook instead.
|
||||
|
||||
post-receive Hook
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
After all refs were updated (or attempted to be updated), if any
|
||||
ref update was successful, and if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive
|
||||
file exists and is executable, it will be invoke once with three
|
||||
parameters for each successfully updated ref:
|
||||
|
||||
$GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive (refname sha1-old sha1-new)+
|
||||
|
||||
The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
|
||||
head this is "refs/heads/master". The two sha1 arguments after
|
||||
each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
|
||||
the update. Refs that were created will have sha1-old equal to
|
||||
0{40}, while refs that were deleted will have sha1-new equal to
|
||||
0{40}, otherwise sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in
|
||||
the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Using this hook, it is easy to generate mails describing the updates
|
||||
to the repository. This example script sends one mail message per
|
||||
ref listing the commits pushed to the repository:
|
||||
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
# mail out commit update information.
|
||||
while test $# -gt 0
|
||||
do
|
||||
if expr "$2" : '0*$' >/dev/null
|
||||
then

||||
echo "Created a new ref, with the following commits:"

Another hook $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update, if exists and
|
||||
executable, is called with the list of refs that have been
|
||||
updated. This can be used to implement repository wide cleanup
|
||||
task if needed. The exit code from this hook invocation is
|
||||
ignored; the only thing left for git-receive-pack to do at that
|
||||
point is to exit itself anyway. This hook can be used, for
|
||||
example, to run "git-update-server-info" if the repository is
|
||||
packed and is served via a dumb transport.
|
||||
The exit code from this hook invocation is ignored, however a
|
||||
non-zero exit code will generate an error message.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that it is possible for refname to not have sha1-new when this
|
||||
hook runs. This can easily occur if another user modifies the ref
|
||||
after it was updated by receive-pack, but before the hook was able
|
||||
to evaluate it. It is recommended that hooks rely on sha1-new
|
||||
rather than the current value of refname.

|

post-update Hook
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
After all other processing, if at least one ref was updated, and
|
||||
if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update file exists and is executable, then
|
||||
post-update will called with the list of refs that have been updated.
