5 # An example hook script to mail out commit update information. This hook sends emails
6 # listing new revisions to the repository introduced by the change being reported. The
7 # rule is that (for branch updates) each commit will appear on one email and one email
8 # only.
10 # This hook is stored in the contrib/hooks directory. Your distribution will have put
11 # this somewhere standard. You should make this script executable then link to it in
12 # the repository you would like to use it in. For example, on debian the hook is stored
13 # in /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email:
15 # chmod a+x post-receive-email
16 # cd /path/to/your/repository.git
17 # ln -sf /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email hooks/post-receive
19 # This hook script assumes it is enabled on the central repository of a project, with
20 # all users pushing only to it and not between each other. It will still work if you
21 # don't operate in that style, but it would become possible for the email to be from
22 # someone other than the person doing the push.
24 # Config
25 # ------
26 # hooks.mailinglist
27 # This is the list that all pushes will go to; leave it blank to not send
28 # emails for every ref update.
29 # hooks.announcelist
30 # This is the list that all pushes of annotated tags will go to. Leave it
31 # blank to default to the mailinglist field. The announce emails lists the
32 # short log summary of the changes since the last annotated tag.
33 # hook.envelopesender
34 # If set then the -f option is passed to sendmail to allow the envelope sender
35 # address to be set
37 # Notes
38 # -----
39 # All emails have their subjects prefixed with "[SCM]" to aid filtering.
40 # All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
41 # "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
42 # give information for debugging.

49 # this is and calls the appropriate body-generation routine after outputting
50 # the common header

53 # care of by the functions it calls:
54 # - generate_email_header

233 # 1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N
235 # O is $oldrev for $refname
236 # N is $newrev for $refname
237 # X is a revision pointed to by some other ref, for which we may
238 # assume that an email has already been generated.
239 # In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions
240 # 3, 4, and N. Given (almost) by
242 # git-rev-list N ^O --not --all
244 # The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
245 # precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
247 # git-rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
249 # So, we need to build up the list more carefully. git-rev-parse will
250 # generate a list of revs that may be fed into git-rev-list. We can get
251 # it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out the "^N" with:
253 # git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
255 # Then, using the --stdin switch to git-rev-list we have effectively
256 # manufactured
258 # git-rev-list N ^O ^X
260 # This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository
261 # while this script is running. Their new value of the ref we're working
262 # on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as our $newrev
263 # would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude all of our
264 # commits. What we really want is to exclude the current value of
265 # $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself. So:
267 # git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git-rev-parse $refname)
269 # Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time between
270 # refname being read, and git-rev-parse running - for that, I give up)
273 # Next problem, consider this:
274 # * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
276 # * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
278 # That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict subset of
279 # newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's allowed). So, we
280 # can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev. Instead we find the common
281 # base of the two revs and list from there.
283 # As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if another
284 # branch is already in the repository and points at some of the revisions
285 # that we are about to output - we don't want them. The solution is as
286 # before: git-rev-parse output filtered.
288 # Finally, tags:
289 # 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
291 # Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that
292 # summarise the commits between them and the previous tag. However,
293 # those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output
294 # for a branch update. Therefore we still want to output revisions
295 # that have been output on a tag email.
297 # Luckily, git-rev-parse includes just the tool. Instead of using "--all"
298 # we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that "remotes/" will
299 # be ignored as well.
