5 # An example hook script to mail out commit update information. This hook
6 # sends emails listing new revisions to the repository introduced by the
7 # change being reported. The rule is that (for branch updates) each commit
8 # will appear on one email and one email only.
11 # This is Girocco-customized version. No matter what is said below, it has
13 # * Calling with arguments is same as giving them on stdin.
14 # * Optional fourth parameter is project name, used at most places instead
18 # This hook is stored in the contrib/hooks directory. Your distribution
19 # will have put this somewhere standard. You should make this script
20 # executable then link to it in the repository you would like to use it in.
21 # For example, on debian the hook is stored in
22 # /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email:
24 # chmod a+x post-receive-email
25 # cd /path/to/your/repository.git
26 # ln -sf /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email hooks/post-receive
28 # This hook script assumes it is enabled on the central repository of a
29 # project, with all users pushing only to it and not between each other. It
30 # will still work if you don't operate in that style, but it would become
31 # possible for the email to be from someone other than the person doing the
37 # This is the list that all pushes will go to; leave it blank to not send
38 # emails for every ref update.
40 # This is the list that all pushes of annotated tags will go to. Leave it
41 # blank to default to the mailinglist field. The announce emails lists
42 # the short log summary of the changes since the last annotated tag.
43 # hooks.envelopesender
44 # If set then the -f option is passed to sendmail to allow the envelope
45 # sender address to be set
47 # All emails have their subjects prefixed with this prefix, or "[SCM]"
48 # if emailprefix is unset, to aid filtering
50 # The shell command used to format each revision in the email, with
51 # "%s" replaced with the commit id. Defaults to "git rev-list -1
52 # --pretty %s", displaying the commit id, author, date and log
53 # message. To list full patches separated by a blank line, you
54 # could set this to "git show -C %s; echo".
55 # To list a gitweb/cgit URL *and* a full patch for each change set, use this:
56 # "t=%s; printf 'http://.../?id=%%s' \$t; echo;echo; git show -C \$t; echo"
57 # Be careful if "..." contains things that will be expanded by shell "eval"
62 # All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
63 # "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
64 # give information for debugging.

260 # assume that an email has already been generated.
261 # In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions
262 # 3, 4, and N. Given (almost) by
264 # git rev-list N ^O --not --all
266 # The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
267 # precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
269 # git rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
271 # So, we need to build up the list more carefully. git rev-parse
272 # will generate a list of revs that may be fed into git rev-list.
273 # We can get it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out
276 # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
278 # Then, using the --stdin switch to git rev-list we have effectively
281 # git rev-list N ^O ^X
283 # This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository
284 # while this script is running. Their new value of the ref we're
285 # working on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as
286 # our $newrev would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude
287 # all of our commits. What we really want is to exclude the current
288 # value of $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself. So:
290 # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname)
292 # Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time
293 # between refname being read, and git rev-parse running - for that,
297 # Next problem, consider this:
298 # * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
300 # * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
302 # That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict
303 # subset of newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's
304 # allowed). So, we can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev.
305 # Instead we find the common base of the two revs and list from
308 # As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if
309 # another branch is already in the repository and points at some of
310 # the revisions that we are about to output - we don't want them.
311 # The solution is as before: git rev-parse output filtered.
313 # Finally, tags: 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
315 # Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that
316 # summarise the commits between them and the previous tag. However,
317 # those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output
318 # for a branch update. Therefore we still want to output revisions
319 # that have been output on a tag email.
321 # Luckily, git rev-parse includes just the tool. Instead of using
322 # "--all" we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that
323 # "remotes/" will be ignored as well.
325 # List all of the revisions that were removed by this update, in a
