receive-pack hooks updates.
The earlier one conflated update and post-update hooks for no good reason. Correct that ugly hack. Now post-update hooks will take the list of successfully updated refs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

disallow updating the named ref. Otherwise it should exit with

-The same hook is also called with an empty string as refname and

Using this hook, it is easy to generate mails on updates to
the local repository. This example script sends a mail with
the commits pushed to the repository:
#!/bin/sh
- case "$#,$1" in
- 1,) # help packed repository pulled via dumb protocol.
- git-update-server-info
- ;;
- *) # mail out commit update information.
- if expr "$2" : '0*$' >/dev/null
- then
- echo "Created now ref."
+ # mail out commit update information.
+ if expr "$2" : '0*$' >/dev/null
+ then
+ echo "Created a new ref, with the following commits:"
git-rev-list --pretty "$2"

+Another hook $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update, if exists and

+updated. This can be used to implement repository wide cleanup
+task if needed. The exit code from this hook invocation is
+ignored; the only thing left for git-receive-pack to do at that
+point is to exit itself anyway. This hook can be used, for
+example, to run "git-update-server-info" if the repository is
+packed and is served via a dumb transport.
