Hi all,
I was thinking about updating the mail notification hooks used in the
fedora-web git repository. We switched the infrastructure puppet
repository to these a month or so back and they have worked well. The
output is a bit nicer than the current hook and it is called from the
proper place (the post-receive hook rather than the update hook that
is currently (ab)used for this).
Partly, I'd like to convert things so we can get wider testing of the
newer hook scripts, with an eye toward eventually converting most of
the other hosted repositories to these scripts. To that end, I
whipped up a short shell script to do the dirty work:
http://dpaste.com/hold/81486/
The script is also at ~tmz/bin/git-mail-hook-update on hosted1.
I also noticed while looking at the config file for fedora-web.git (on
hosted1) that we don't have receive.denyNonFastForwards set. This
might be something good to enable. It prevents pushing updates that
are not fast forwards, even if the --force option to push is used.
This option is set when initializing a shared repository. I think
that when the fedora-web git repo was setup on fedorahosted.org that
it was not created as a shared repository. Either that or it was done
so long ago that the git version in use did not do this by default.
My bet is on the former, as the config also has 'bare = false' and
some other options that are not typically set when creating a bare,
shared, repository -- like having branch and remote settings.
So with permission, I'd also like to update the config file to look
like this (as well as adding the hooks.mailinglist setting):
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = true
sharedrepository = 1
[receive]
denyNonFastforwards = true
The diff with the current config is:

Sound good?
