You can look into the source of Git, to be more exact the test suite: t/t5571-pre-push-hook.sh When I play a little but with the script, (Replace the diff with test_cmp, add a line: diff --git a/t/t5571-pre-push-hook.sh b/t/t5571-pre-push-hook.sh index 6f9916a..01db2fb 100755 --- a/t/t5571-pre-push-hook.sh +++ b/t/t5571-pre-push-hook.sh @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ export COMMIT2 write_script "$HOOK" <<'EOF' echo "$1" >actual echo "$2" >>actual +echo hello >>actual cat >>actual EOF ------------- and finally run it like this: debug=t verbose=t ./t5571-pre-push-hook.sh 2>&1 | less I get something like this: --- expected 2014-03-23 07:15:58.000000000 +0000 +++ actual 2014-03-23 07:15:58.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ parent1 repo1 +hello refs/heads/master 139b20d8e6c5b496de61f033f642d0e3dbff528d refs/heads/foreign d79ce1670bdcb76e6d1da2ae095e890ccb326ae9 not ok 4 - push with hook # # git push parent1 master:foreign && # test_cmp expected actual # -------------------------------------------- So the question is, if your push simply doesn't have anything to push, because everything is up to date? And in this case there is nothing on STDIN? If the problem still exists, feel free to post a script how to reproduce it here to the list, t5571 may be a source of inspiration. -- 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
