hook/update: example of how to prevent branch creation

2009-04-18T04:26:11Z

Since git doesn't provide a receive.denyBranchCreation or similar, here is an example of how to be sure users cannot create branches remotely by pushing a new reference. This setup has been proven useful to prevent creation of spurious branches because of users having their remote.origin.push set to HEAD, when they use `git push` while being on a local topic branch of theirs instead of the proper one.

Modify description file to say what this file is

Fix permission bits on sources checked out with an overtight umask

2008-09-09T20:32:32Z

Two patches 9907721 (templates/Makefile: don't depend on local umask setting, 2008-02-28) and 96cda0b (templates/Makefile: install is unnecessary, just use mkdir -p, 2008-08-21) tried to prevent an overtight umask the builder/installer might have from screwing over the installation procedure, but we forgot there was another source of trouble. If the person who checked out the source tree had an overtight umask, it will leak out to the built products, which is propagated to the installation destination. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Install templates with the user and group of the installing personality

2008-08-20T23:01:45Z

If 'make install' was run with sufficient privileges, then the installed templates, which are copied using 'tar', would receive the user and group of whoever built git. This instructs 'tar' to ignore the user and group that are recorded in the archive. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Update sample pre-commit hook to use "diff --check"

2008-06-27T05:08:25Z

Now "diff --check" can detect not just whitespace errors but also notices leftover conflict marker lines, we can use it in the sample pre-commit hook script. These days the object layer knows about the empty tree object without actually having one in the repository, so we can run the test even for the initial commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

When installing, be prepared that template_dir may be relative.

2008-06-26T06:47:14Z

Since the Makefile in the template/ subdirectory is only used to install the templates, we do not simply pass down the setting of template_dir when it is relative, but construct the intended destination in a new variable: A relative template_dir is relative to gitexecdir.

Fix use of "perl -i" on Windows

2008-06-26T00:21:52Z

The perldiag(1) has following to say about this: "Can't do inplace edit without backup" (F) You're on a system such as MS-DOS that gets confused if you try reading from a deleted (but still opened) file. You have to say -i.bak, or some such. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Ship sample hooks with .sample suffix

2008-06-25T02:06:22Z

We used to mark hooks we ship as samples by making them unexecutable, but some filesystems cannot tell what is executable and what is not. This makes it much more explicit. The hooks are suffixed with .sample (but now are made executable), so enabling it is still one step operation (instead of "chmod +x $hook", you would do "mv $hook.sample $hook") but now they won't get accidentally enabled on systems without executable bit.

pre-rebase hook update

This hook is what I have been using to manage topic branches in git.git, but have not been updated to the Real Thing for a while. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
