It executes whenever a reference transaction is prepared, +committed or aborted and may thus get called multiple times. + +The hook takes exactly one argument, which is the current state the +given reference transaction is in: + + - "prepared": All reference updates have been queued to the + transaction and references were locked on disk. + + - "committed": The reference transaction was committed and all + references now have their respective new value. + + - "aborted": The reference transaction was aborted, no changes + were performed and the locks have been released. + +For each reference update that was added to the transaction, the hook +receives on standard input a line of the format: + + <old-value> SP <new-value> SP <ref-name> LF + +The exit status of the hook is ignored for any state except for the +"prepared" state. In the "prepared" state, a non-zero exit status will +cause the transaction to be aborted. The hook will not be called with +"aborted" state in that case. + push-to-checkout ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
