# Copyright (c) 2007 Andy Parkins
#
# An example hook script to mail out commit update information.  This hook sends emails
# listing new revisions to the repository introduced by the change being reported.  The
# rule is that (for branch updates) each commit will appear on one email and one email
# only.
#
# This hook is stored in the contrib/hooks directory.  Your distribution will have put
# this somewhere standard.  You should make this script executable then link to it in
# the repository you would like to use it in.  For example, on debian the hook is stored
# in /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email:
#
#  chmod a+x post-receive-email
#  cd /path/to/your/repository.git
#  ln -sf /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email hooks/post-receive
#
# This hook script assumes it is enabled on the central repository of a project, with
# all users pushing only to it and not between each other.  It will still work if you
# don't operate in that style, but it would become possible for the email to be from
# someone other than the person doing the push.
#
# Config
# ------
# hooks.mailinglist
#   This is the list that all pushes will go to; leave it blank to not send
#   emails for every ref update.
# hooks.announcelist
#   This is the list that all pushes of annotated tags will go to.  Leave it
#   blank to default to the mailinglist field.  The announce emails lists the
#   short log summary of the changes since the last annotated tag.
# hook.envelopesender
#   If set then the -f option is passed to sendmail to allow the envelope sender
#   address to be set
#
# Notes
# -----
# All emails have their subjects prefixed with "[SCM]" to aid filtering.
# All emails include the headers "X-Git-Refname", "X-Git-Oldrev",
# "X-Git-Newrev", and "X-Git-Reftype" to enable fine tuned filtering and
# give information for debugging.
#

# ---------------------------- Functions

#
# Top level email generation function.  This decides what type of update
# this is and calls the appropriate body-generation routine after outputting
# the common header
#
# Note this function doesn't actually generate any email output, that is taken
# care of by the functions it calls:
#  - generate_email_header
#  - generate_create_XXXX_email
#  - generate_update_XXXX_email
#  - generate_delete_XXXX_email
#  - generate_email_footer

	# Consider this:
	#   1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N
	#
	# O is $oldrev for $refname
	# N is $newrev for $refname
	# X is a revision pointed to by some other ref, for which we may
	#   assume that an email has already been generated.
	# In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions
	# 3, 4, and N.  Given (almost) by
	#
	#  git-rev-list N ^O --not --all
	#
	# The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take
	# precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to
	#
	#  git-rev-list N ^O ^X ^N
	#
	# So, we need to build up the list more carefully.  git-rev-parse will
	# generate a list of revs that may be fed into git-rev-list.  We can get
	# it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out the "^N" with:
	#
	#  git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N
	#
	# Then, using the --stdin switch to git-rev-list we have effectively
	# manufactured
	#
	#  git-rev-list N ^O ^X
	#
	# This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository
	# while this script is running.  Their new value of the ref we're working
	# on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as our $newrev
	# would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude all of our
	# commits.  What we really want is to exclude the current value of
	# $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself.  So:
	#
	#  git-rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git-rev-parse $refname)
	#
	# Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time between
	# refname being read, and git-rev-parse running - for that, I give up)
	#
	#
	# Next problem, consider this:
	#   * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev)
	#          \
	#           * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev)
	#
	# That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict subset of
	# newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's allowed).  So, we
	# can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev.  Instead we find the common
	# base of the two revs and list from there.
	#
	# As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if another
	# branch is already in the repository and points at some of the revisions
	# that we are about to output - we don't want them.  The solution is as
	# before: git-rev-parse output filtered.
	#
	# Finally, tags:
	#   1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N
	#
	# Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that
	# summarise the commits between them and the previous tag.  However,
	# those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output
	# for a branch update.  Therefore we still want to output revisions
	# that have been output on a tag email.
	#
	# Luckily, git-rev-parse includes just the tool.  Instead of using "--all"
	# we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that "remotes/" will
	# be ignored as well.

	# List all of the revisions that were removed by this update, in a fast forward
