Of course there is the classic: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- git for-each-ref | pcregrep 'commit\srefs/remotes/' > /tmp/old git fetch git for-each-ref | pcregrep 'commits\srefs/remotes/' > /tmp/new diff /tmp/old /tmp/new ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm in favor of more git hooks myself, but there is a solution to your needs without it. Even if there is a way to reconstruct data passed to post-receive (to be given to post-fetch), I am concerned about race-condition of this. If you care about race conditions (and really, a lockfile(1) call can take care of that easily enough), then parse the output of fetch which will make it clear what *this* call did. -Seth Robertson -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
