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.
10 # This hook is stored in the contrib/hooks directory. Your distribution
11 # will have put this somewhere standard. You should make this script
12 # executable then link to it in the repository you would like to use it in.
13 # For example, on debian the hook is stored in
14 # /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email:
16 # chmod a+x post-receive-email
17 # cd /path/to/your/repository.git
18 # ln -sf /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email hooks/post-receive
20 # This hook script assumes it is enabled on the central repository of a
21 # project, with all users pushing only to it and not between each other. It
22 # will still work if you don't operate in that style, but it would become
23 # possible for the email to be from someone other than the person doing the
24 # push.
26 # To help with debugging and use on pre-v1.5.1 git servers, this script will
27 # also obey the interface of hooks/update, taking its arguments on the
28 # command line. Unfortunately, hooks/update is called once for each ref.
29 # To avoid firing one email per ref, this script just prints its output to
30 # the screen when used in this mode. The output can then be redirected if
31 # wanted.
33 # Config
34 # ------
35 # hooks.mailinglist
36 # This is the list that all pushes will go to; leave it blank to not send
37 # emails for every ref update.
38 # hooks.announcelist
39 # This is the list that all pushes of annotated tags will go to. Leave it
40 # blank to default to the mailinglist field. The announce emails lists
41 # the short log summary of the changes since the last annotated tag.
42 # hooks.envelopesender
43 # If set then the -f option is passed to sendmail to allow the envelope
44 # sender address to be set
45 # hooks.emailprefix
46 # All emails have their subjects prefixed with this prefix, or "[SCM]"
47 # if emailprefix is unset, to aid filtering
48 # hooks.showrev
49 # The shell command used to format each revision in the email, with
50 # "%s" replaced with the commit id. Defaults to "git rev-list -1
51 # --pretty %s", displaying the commit id, author, date and log
52 # message. To list full patches separated by a blank line, you
53 # could set this to "git show -C %s; echo".
54 # To list a gitweb/cgit URL *and* a full patch for each change set, use this:
55 # "t=%s; printf 'http://.../?id=%%s' \$t; echo;echo; git show -C \$t; echo"
56 # Be careful if "..." contains things that will be expanded by shell "eval"
57 # or printf.
58 # hooks.emailmaxlines
59 # The maximum number of lines that should be included in the generated
60 # email body. If not specified, there is no limit.
61 # Lines beyond the limit are suppressed and counted, and a final
62 # line is added indicating the number of suppressed lines.
63 # hooks.diffopts
64 # Alternate options for the git diff-tree invocation that shows changes.
65 # Default is "--stat --summary --find-copies-harder". Add -p to those
66 # options to include a unified diff of changes in addition to the usual
67 # summary output.
69 # Notes
70 # -----
71 # All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
72 # "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
73 # give information for debugging.

283 # Consider this:
284 # 1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N
286 # O is $oldrev for $refname
287 # N is $newrev for $refname
288 # X is a revision pointed to by some other ref, for which we may
289 # assume that an email has already been generated.
290 # In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions
291 # 3, 4, and N. Given (almost) by
293 # git rev-list N ^O --not --all
295 # The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
296 # precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
298 # git rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
300 # So, we need to build up the list more carefully. git rev-parse
301 # will generate a list of revs that may be fed into git rev-list.
302 # We can get it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out
303 # the "^N" with:
305 # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
307 # Then, using the --stdin switch to git rev-list we have effectively
308 # manufactured
310 # git rev-list N ^O ^X
312 # This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository
313 # while this script is running. Their new value of the ref we're
314 # working on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as
315 # our $newrev would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude
316 # all of our commits. What we really want is to exclude the current
317 # value of $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself. So:
319 # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname)
321 # Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time
322 # between refname being read, and git rev-parse running - for that,
323 # I give up)
326 # Next problem, consider this:
327 # * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
329 # * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
331 # That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict
332 # subset of newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's
333 # allowed). So, we can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev.
334 # Instead we find the common base of the two revs and list from
335 # there.
337 # As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if
338 # another branch is already in the repository and points at some of
339 # the revisions that we are about to output - we don't want them.
340 # The solution is as before: git rev-parse output filtered.
342 # Finally, tags: 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
344 # Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that
345 # summarise the commits between them and the previous tag. However,
346 # those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output
347 # for a branch update. Therefore we still want to output revisions
348 # that have been output on a tag email.
350 # Luckily, git rev-parse includes just the tool. Instead of using
351 # "--all" we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that
352 # "remotes/" will be ignored as well.
354 # List all of the revisions that were removed by this update, in a
