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 # 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.
59 # Notes
60 # -----
61 # All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
62 # "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
63 # give information for debugging.

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