[PATCH 8/8] refs: support symrefs in 'reference-transaction' hook

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

 



From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx>

The 'reference-transaction' hook runs whenever a reference update is
made to the system. In the previous commit, we added support for the
`update-symref` command in `git-update-ref`. While it allowed us to now
create symbolic refs via `git-update-ref`, it didn't activate the
'reference-transaction' hook.

Let's activate the hook for symbolic reference updates too. This takes
the form `<symref-target> SP <ref-name> LF`, which deviates from the
form for regular updates since this only contains two fields.

While this seems to be backward incompatible, it is okay, since the only
way the `reference-transaction` hook outputs this syntax is when
`git-update-ref` is used with `update-symref` command. The command was
only introduced in the previous commit and hence only users of this
command will face this incompatibility.
