Gerrit is implemented by JGit and is known as a centralized workflow system which supports reference-level access control for repository. If we choose to work in centralized workflow like what Gerrit provided, reference-level access control is needed and we might add a reference filter hook hide-refs to hide the private data. This hook would be invoked by 'git-receive-pack' and 'git-upload-pack' during the reference discovery phase, each reference will be filtered with this hook. The hook executes once with no arguments for each 'git-upload-pack' and 'git-receive-pack' process. Once the hook is invoked, a version number and server process name ('uploadpack' or 'receive') will send to it in pkt-line format, followed by a flush-pkt. The hook should respond with its version number. During reference discovery phase, each reference will be filtered by this hook. In the following example, the letter 'G' stands for 'git-receive-pack' or 'git-upload-pack' and the letter 'H' stands for this hook. The hook decides if the reference will be hidden or not, it sends result back in pkt-line format protocol, a response "hide" means the references will hide to the client and can not fetch its private data even in protocol V2. # Version negotiation G: PKT-LINE(version=1\0uploadpack) G: flush-pkt H: PKT-LINE(version=1) H: flush-pkt # Send reference filter request to hook G: PKT-LINE(ref <refname>:<refname_full>) G: flush-pkt # Receive result from the hook. # Case 1: this reference is hidden H: PKT-LINE(hide) H: flush-pkt # Case 2: this reference can be advertised H: flush-pkt To enable the hide-refs hook, we should config hiderefs with force: option, eg: git config --add transfer.hiderefs force:refs/prefix1/ git config --add uploadpack.hiderefs force:!refs/prefix2/ the hide-refs will be called during reference discovery phase and check each matched reference, a 'hide' response means the reference will be hidden for its private data even if allowTipSHA1InWant or allowReachableSHA1InWant are set to true.
