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/doc/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/doc/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 # Config
27 # ------
28 # hooks.mailinglist
29 # This is the list that all pushes will go to; leave it blank to not send
30 # emails for every ref update.
31 # hooks.announcelist
32 # This is the list that all pushes of annotated tags will go to. Leave it
33 # blank to default to the mailinglist field. The announce emails lists
34 # the short log summary of the changes since the last annotated tag.
35 # hooks.envelopesender
36 # If set then the -f option is passed to sendmail to allow the envelope
37 # sender address to be set
38 # hooks.emailprefix
39 # All emails have their subjects prefixed with this prefix, or "[SCM]"
40 # if emailprefix is unset, to aid filtering
41 # hooks.showrev
42 # The shell command used to format each revision in the email, with
43 # "%s" replaced with the commit id. Defaults to "git rev-list -1
44 # --pretty %s", displaying the commit id, author, date and log
45 # message. To list full patches separated by a blank line, you
46 # could set this to "git show -C %s; echo".
48 # Notes
49 # -----
50 # All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
51 # "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
52 # give information for debugging.

63 # taken care of by the functions it calls:
64 # - generate_email_header
65 # - generate_create_XXXX_email
66 # - generate_update_XXXX_email

242 # Consider this:
243 # 1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N
245 # O is $oldrev for $refname
246 # N is $newrev for $refname
247 # X is a revision pointed to by some other ref, for which we may
248 # assume that an email has already been generated.
249 # In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions
250 # 3, 4, and N. Given (almost) by
252 # git rev-list N ^O --not --all
254 # The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
255 # precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
257 # git rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
259 # So, we need to build up the list more carefully. git rev-parse
260 # will generate a list of revs that may be fed into git rev-list.
261 # We can get it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out
262 # the "^N" with:
264 # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
266 # Then, using the --stdin switch to git rev-list we have effectively
267 # manufactured
269 # git rev-list N ^O ^X
271 # This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository
272 # while this script is running. Their new value of the ref we're
273 # working on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as
274 # our $newrev would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude
275 # all of our commits. What we really want is to exclude the current
276 # value of $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself. So:
278 # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname)
280 # Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time
281 # between refname being read, and git rev-parse running - for that,
282 # I give up)
285 # Next problem, consider this:
286 # * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
288 # * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
290 # That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict
291 # subset of newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's
292 # allowed). So, we can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev.
293 # Instead we find the common base of the two revs and list from
294 # there.
296 # As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if
297 # another branch is already in the repository and points at some of
298 # the revisions that we are about to output - we don't want them.
299 # The solution is as before: git rev-parse output filtered.
301 # Finally, tags: 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
303 # Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that
304 # summarise the commits between them and the previous tag. However,
305 # those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output
306 # for a branch update. Therefore we still want to output revisions
307 # that have been output on a tag email.
309 # Luckily, git rev-parse includes just the tool. Instead of using
310 # "--all" we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that
311 # "remotes/" will be ignored as well.
313 # List all of the revisions that were removed by this update, in a
