As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

Hooks used by GIT
|
|
=================
|
|
v0.99.6, Sep 2005
|
|
|
|
Hooks are little scripts you can place in `$GIT_DIR/hooks`
|
|
directory to trigger action at certain points. When
|
|
`git-init-db` is run, a handful example hooks are copied in the
|
|
`hooks` directory of the new repository, but by default they are
|
|
all disabled. To enable a hook, make it executable with `chmod
|
|
+x`.
|
|
|
|
This document describes the currently defined hooks.
|
|
|
|
applypatch-msg
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-applypatch` script, which is
|
|
typically invoked by `git-applymbox`. It takes a single
|
|
parameter, the name of the file that holds the proposed commit
|
|
log message. Exiting with non-zero status causes the
|
|
'git-applypatch' to abort before applying the patch.
|
|
|
|
The hook is allowed to edit the message file in place, and can
|
|
be used to normalize the message into some project standard
|
|
format (if the project has one). It can also be used to refuse
|
|
the commit after inspecting the message file.
|
|
|
|
The default applypatch-msg hook, when enabled, runs the
|
|
commit-msg hook, if the latter is enabled.
|
|
|
|
pre-applypatch
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-applypatch` script, which is
|
|
typically invoked by `git-applymbox`. It takes no parameter,
|
|
and is invoked after the patch is applied, but before a commit
|
|
is made. Exiting with non-zero status causes the working tree
|
|
after application of the patch not committed.
|
|
|
|
It can be used to inspect the current working tree and refuse to
|
|
make a commit if it does not pass certain test.
|
|
|
|
The default pre-applypatch hook, when enabled, runs the
|
|
pre-commit hook, if the latter is enabled.
|
|
|
|
post-applypatch
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-applypatch` script, which is
|
|
typically invoked by `git-applymbox`. It takes no parameter,
|
|
and is invoked after the patch is applied and a commit is made.
|
|
|
|
This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
|
|
the outcome of `git-applypatch`.
|
|
|
|
pre-commit
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-commit`, and can be bypassed
|
|
with `--no-verify` option. It takes no parameter, and is
|
|
invoked before obtaining the proposed commit log message and
|
|
making a commit. Exiting with non-zero status from this script
|
|
causes the `git-commit` to abort.
|
|
|
|
The default pre-commit hook, when enabled, catches introduction
|
|
of lines with trailing whitespaces and aborts the commit when
|
|
a such line is found.
|
|
|
|
commit-msg
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-commit`, and can be bypassed
|
|
with `--no-verify` option. It takes a single parameter, the
|
|
name of the file that holds the proposed commit log message.
|
|
Exiting with non-zero status causes the `git-commit` to
|
|
abort.
|
|
|
|
The hook is allowed to edit the message file in place, and can
|
|
be used to normalize the message into some project standard
|
|
format (if the project has one). It can also be used to refuse
|
|
the commit after inspecting the message file.
|
|
|
|
The default commit-msg hook, when enabled, detects duplicate
|
|
Signed-off-by: lines, and aborts the commit when one is found.
|
|
|
|
post-commit
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-commit`. It takes no
|
|
parameter, and is invoked after a commit is made.
|
|
|
|
This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
|
|
the outcome of `git-commit`.
|
|
|
|
The default post-commit hook, when enabled, demonstrates how to
|
|
send out a commit notification e-mail.
|
|
|
|
update
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-receive-pack`, which is invoked
|
|
when a `git push` is done against the repository. It takes
|
|
three parameters, name of the ref being updated, old object name
|
|
stored in the ref, and the new objectname to be stored in the
|
|
ref. Exiting with non-zero status from this hook prevents
|
|
`git-receive-pack` from updating the ref.
|
|
|
|
This can be used to prevent 'forced' update on certain refs by
|
|
making sure that the object name is a commit object that is a
|
|
descendant of the commit object named by the old object name.
|
|
Another use suggested on the mailing list is to use this hook to
|
|
implement access control which is finer grained than the one
|
|
based on filesystem group.
|
|
|
|
post-update
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This hook is invoked by `git-receive-pack`, which is invoked
|
|
when a `git push` is done against the repository. It takes
|
|
variable number of parameters; each of which is the name of ref
|
|
that was actually updated.
|
|
|
|
This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
|
|
the outcome of `git-receive-pack`.
|
|
|
|
The default post-update hook, when enabled, runs
|
|
`git-update-server-info` to keep the information used by dumb
|
|
transport up-to-date.
