According to githooks, standard output/error for the post-receive and pre-receive hooks will be seen by the user. This is true if using ssh. But if git-daemon has been configured to allow pushes, the user will not see anything these hooks output, and only a not very helpful ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined) I suppose that to fix this, git-daemon would have to select on stdout and stderr and pipe them over the wire to the client. Apologies for not even trying to write a patch to do that. (I ran into this in a real-world application -- I'm implementing anonymous pushes into ikiwiki, which are checked pre-receive to limit them to changes that could be done via the web interface. So all my nice error messages about why a commit is refused are not available, which is a pity.) -- see shy jo
