If the server has +set the multi-valued config variable `receive.procReceiveRefs`, and the +commands sent to 'receive-pack' have matching reference names, these +commands will be executed by this hook, instead of by the internal +`execute_commands()` function. This hook is responsible for updating +the relevant references and reporting the results back to 'receive-pack'. + +This hook executes once for the receive operation. It takes no +arguments, but uses a pkt-line format protocol to communicate with +'receive-pack' to read commands, push-options and send results. In the +following example for the protocol, the letter 'S' stands for +'receive-pack' and the letter 'H' stands for this hook. + + # Version and features negotiation. + S: PKT-LINE(version=1\0push-options atomic...) + S: flush-pkt + H: PKT-LINE(version=1\0push-options...) + H: flush-pkt + + # Send commands from server to the hook. + S: PKT-LINE(<old-oid> <new-oid> <ref>) + S: ... ... + S: flush-pkt + # Send push-options only if the 'push-options' feature is enabled. + S: PKT-LINE(push-option) + S: ... ... + S: flush-pkt + + # Receive result from the hook. + # OK, run this command successfully. + H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>) + # NO, I reject it. + H: PKT-LINE(ng <ref> <reason>) + # Fall through, let 'receive-pack' to execute it. + H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>) + H: PKT-LINE(option fall-through) + # OK, but has an alternate reference.

For this case, this hook will use +"option" directives to report extended attributes for the reference given +by the leading "ok" directive. + +The report of the commands of this hook should have the same order as +the input. The exit status of the 'proc-receive' hook only determines +the success or failure of the group of commands sent to it, unless +atomic push is in use. + [[post-receive]] post-receive ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
