   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.
   9#
  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:
  15#
  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
  19#
  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.
  25#
  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#
  39# Notes
  40# -----
  41# All emails have their subjects prefixed with "[SCM]" to aid filtering.
  42# All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
  43# "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
  44# give information for debugging.

  47# ---------------------------- Functions

  49#
  50# Top level email generation function.  This decides what type of update
  51# this is and calls the appropriate body-generation routine after outputting
  52# the common header
  53#
  54# Note this function doesn't actually generate any email output, that is
  55# taken care of by the functions it calls:
  56#  - generate_email_header
  57#  - generate_create_XXXX_email
  58#  - generate_update_XXXX_email
  59#  - generate_delete_XXXX_email
  60#  - generate_email_footer

 243        # Consider this:
 244        #   1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N
 245        #
 246        # O is $oldrev for $refname
 247        # N is $newrev for $refname
 248        # X is a revision pointed to by some other ref, for which we may
 249        #   assume that an email has already been generated.
 250        # In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions
 251        # 3, 4, and N.  Given (almost) by
 252        #
 253        #  git-rev-list N ^O --not --all
 254        #
 255        # The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
 256        # precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
 257        #
 258        #  git-rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
 259        #
 260        # So, we need to build up the list more carefully.  git-rev-parse
 261        # will generate a list of revs that may be fed into git-rev-list.
 262        # We can get it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out
 263        # the "^N" with:
 264        #
 265        #  git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
 266        #
 267        # Then, using the --stdin switch to git-rev-list we have effectively
 268        # manufactured
 269        #
 270        #  git-rev-list N ^O ^X
 271        #
 272        # This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository
 273        # while this script is running.  Their new value of the ref we're
 274        # working on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as
 275        # our $newrev would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude
 276        # all of our commits.  What we really want is to exclude the current
 277        # value of $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself.  So:
 278        #
 279        #  git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git-rev-parse $refname)
 280        #
 281        # Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time
 282        # between refname being read, and git-rev-parse running - for that,
 283        # I give up)
 284        #
 285        #
 286        # Next problem, consider this:
 287        #   * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
 288        #          \
 289        #           * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
 290        #
 291        # That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict
 292        # subset of newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's
 293        # allowed).  So, we can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev.
 294        # Instead we find the common base of the two revs and list from
 295        # there.
 296        #
 297        # As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if
 298        # another branch is already in the repository and points at some of
 299        # the revisions that we are about to output - we don't want them.
 300        # The solution is as before: git-rev-parse output filtered.
 301        #
 302        # Finally, tags: 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
 303        #
 304        # Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that
 305        # summarise the commits between them and the previous tag.  However,
 306        # those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output
 307        # for a branch update.  Therefore we still want to output revisions
 308        # that have been output on a tag email.
 309        #
 310        # Luckily, git-rev-parse includes just the tool.  Instead of using
 311        # "--all" we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that
 312        # "remotes/" will be ignored as well.
