   3# Copyright (c) 2007 Andy Parkins
   4#
   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# 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.
  32#
  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.
  58#
  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.

  68#
  69# Top level email generation function.  This decides what type of update
  70# this is and calls the appropriate body-generation routine after outputting
  71# the common header
  72#
  73# Note this function doesn't actually generate any email output, that is
  74# taken care of by the functions it calls:
  75#  - generate_email_header
  76#  - generate_create_XXXX_email
  77#  - generate_update_XXXX_email
  78#  - generate_delete_XXXX_email
  79#  - generate_email_footer

 254        #   1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N
 255        #
 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
 262        #
 263        #  git rev-list N ^O --not --all
 264        #
 265        # The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
 266        # precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
 267        #
 268        #  git rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
 269        #
 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:
 274        #
 275        #  git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
 276        #
 277        # Then, using the --stdin switch to git rev-list we have effectively
 278        # manufactured
 279        #
 280        #  git rev-list N ^O ^X
 281        #
 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:
 288        #
 289        #  git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname)
 290        #
 291        # Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time
 292        # between refname being read, and git rev-parse running - for that,
 293        # I give up)
 294        #
 295        #
 296        # Next problem, consider this:
 297        #   * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
 298        #          \
 299        #           * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
 300        #
 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.
 306        #
 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.
 311        #
 312        # Finally, tags: 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
 313        #
 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.
 319        #
 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.
