5 # An example hook script to mail out commit update information.
7 # NOTE: This script is no longer under active development. There
8 # is another script, git-multimail, which is more capable and
9 # configurable and is largely backwards-compatible with this script;
10 # please see "contrib/hooks/multimail/". For instructions on how to
11 # migrate from post-receive-email to git-multimail, please see
12 # "README.migrate-from-post-receive-email" in that directory.
14 # This hook sends emails listing new revisions to the repository
15 # introduced by the change being reported. The rule is that (for
16 # branch updates) each commit will appear on one email and one email
17 # only.
19 # This hook is stored in the contrib/hooks directory. Your distribution
20 # will have put this somewhere standard. You should make this script
21 # executable then link to it in the repository you would like to use it in.
22 # For example, on debian the hook is stored in
23 # /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email:
25 # chmod a+x post-receive-email
26 # cd /path/to/your/repository.git
27 # ln -sf /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email hooks/post-receive
29 # This hook script assumes it is enabled on the central repository of a
30 # project, with all users pushing only to it and not between each other. It
31 # will still work if you don't operate in that style, but it would become
32 # possible for the email to be from someone other than the person doing the
33 # push.
35 # To help with debugging and use on pre-v1.5.1 git servers, this script will
36 # also obey the interface of hooks/update, taking its arguments on the
37 # command line. Unfortunately, hooks/update is called once for each ref.
38 # To avoid firing one email per ref, this script just prints its output to
39 # the screen when used in this mode. The output can then be redirected if
40 # wanted.
42 # Config
43 # ------
44 # hooks.mailinglist
45 # This is the list that all pushes will go to; leave it blank to not send
46 # emails for every ref update.
47 # hooks.announcelist
48 # This is the list that all pushes of annotated tags will go to. Leave it
49 # blank to default to the mailinglist field. The announce emails lists
50 # the short log summary of the changes since the last annotated tag.
51 # hooks.envelopesender
52 # If set then the -f option is passed to sendmail to allow the envelope
53 # sender address to be set
54 # hooks.emailprefix
55 # All emails have their subjects prefixed with this prefix, or "[SCM]"
56 # if emailprefix is unset, to aid filtering
57 # hooks.showrev
58 # The shell command used to format each revision in the email, with
59 # "%s" replaced with the commit id. Defaults to "git rev-list -1
60 # --pretty %s", displaying the commit id, author, date and log
61 # message. To list full patches separated by a blank line, you
62 # could set this to "git show -C %s; echo".
63 # To list a gitweb/cgit URL *and* a full patch for each change set, use this:
64 # "t=%s; printf 'http://.../?id=%%s' \$t; echo;echo; git show -C \$t; echo"
65 # Be careful if "..." contains things that will be expanded by shell "eval"
66 # or printf.
67 # hooks.emailmaxlines
68 # The maximum number of lines that should be included in the generated
69 # email body. If not specified, there is no limit.
70 # Lines beyond the limit are suppressed and counted, and a final
71 # line is added indicating the number of suppressed lines.
72 # hooks.diffopts
73 # Alternate options for the git diff-tree invocation that shows changes.
74 # Default is "--stat --summary --find-copies-harder". Add -p to those
75 # options to include a unified diff of changes in addition to the usual
76 # summary output.
78 # Notes
79 # -----
80 # All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
81 # "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
82 # give information for debugging.

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