[PATCH] refs: Always pass old object name to reftx hook

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Inputs of the reference-transaction hook currently depends on the
command which is being run. For example if the command `git update-ref
$REF $A $B` is executed, it will receive "$B $A $REF" as input, but if
the command `git update-ref $REF $A` is executed without providing the
old value, then it will receive "0*40 $A $REF" as input. This is due to
the fact that we directly write queued transaction updates into the
hook's standard input, which will not contain the old object value in
case it wasn't provided.

While this behaviour reflects what is happening as part of the
repository, it doesn't feel like it is useful. The main intent of the
reference-transaction hook is to be able to completely audit all
reference updates, no matter where they come from. As such, it makes a
lot more sense to always provide actual values instead of what the user
wanted. Furthermore, it's impossible for the hook to distinguish whether
this is intended to be a branch creation or a branch update without
doing additional digging with the current format.

Fix the issue by storing the old object value into the queued
transaction update operation if it wasn't provided by the caller.
