This git repository took out the contributed post-receive hook

from git.git with its full history and aims to continue to fix

and develop it. There is also FusionForge/Evolvis integration,

in a separate branch. (For some strange reason FusionForge has

opted out of the integration and uses the standalone version.)



This repository is hosted on evolvis.org (a public FusionForge

instance by tarent). We mirror it on github for popularity, as

shown below. Development of the hook is partially sponsored by

tarent, FreeWRT (now The MirOS Project), Teckids, FusionForge.



• https://evolvis.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=evolvis-platfrm/recvhook.git

• https://github.com/mirabilos/recvhook



Please do steer new contributions to Evolvis. Development will

be done in the “standalone” branch which can then be merged to

both “master” (for visibility) and “forge” (further integrati‐

ve and development work). Ensure the live branches and release

tags always only have the hook script (not this README file or

the LICENCE file) in them, since other repositories merge them

using the subtree strategy regularily.

This script is basically a replacement for the script

that came with git, except you will not see the annoying

“[SCM] ” præfix in eMails any more, and have to change

a few configuration settings:



• hooks.showrev ⇒ clear this, use our default

• hooks.diffopts ⇒ clear this, use our default



There are notable new settings:



• hooks.replyto (sets a Reply-To: header)

• hooks.shortdesc (used in the Subject: header instead

  of the content of the description file; using this

  over hooks.emailprefix is recommended)

• hooks.kgbconffile (full path to a configuration file

  for kgb-client, triggers on-push IRC notifications)

• hooks.curltrigger (whitespace-separated list of URIs

  to trigger, with cURL, on each push)



There’s also noticeable effort to fix umlauts and

other nōn-ASCII characters in eMails – as long as

you use UTF-8 in your commits, of course. To have

them show up correctly in all (local) operations,

run “git config core.quotePath false”.



For more information, please read the script directly.

If there will ever be frequently asked questions, I’ll

amend this documentation section though ☺
