This makes it easy to customize the git diff-tree options, for example

It defaults to the current options "--stat --summary --find-copies-harder"

Changes the logic in the script to determine whether an email message
will be sent before invoking the send_mail() function; otherwise, if
the logic determines that a message will not be sent, send_mail() will
cause an empty email to be sent. In addition, ensures that if multiple
refs are updated and a message cannot be sent for one of them,
the others are still processed normally.

We have become used to the features of svnmailer when used with Subversion,
and one of those useful features is that it can limit the maximum length
(in lines) of a commit email message. This is terribly useful since once the
goes beyond a reasonable number of lines, nobody is going to read the remainder,
and if they really want the entire contents of the commits, they can use
git itself to get them using the revision IDs present in the message already.
Change the post-receive-email script to respond to an 'emailmaxlines' config key
which, if specified, will limit the number of lines generated (including
headers); any lines beyond the limit are suppressed, and a final line is added
indicating the number that were suppressed.

According to the default hooks/post-receive file, the hook is called
with three arguments on stdin:

In command-line mode, the arguments come in a different order, because
the email hook instead calls:
generate_email $2 $3 $1

Add a comment showing how to include a web link (i.e. gitweb/cgit)
and a patch in the email that is sent for each pushed commit.
The quoting was tricky enough that it's worth documenting. To add
two blank lines (i.e. put \n\n in the printf), you would need to
say \\\\n\\\\n, and in the end, the pair of "echo" statements seemed
better. This is used in glibc.git repository:

In the show_new_revisions function, the original code:
git rev-parse --not --branches | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) |
isn't quite right since one can create a new branch and push it
without any new commits. In that case, two refs will have the same
sha1 but both would get filtered by the 'grep'. In the end, we'll
show ALL the history which is not what we want. Instead, we should
list the branches by name and remove the branch being updated and THEN
pass that list through rev-parse.
Revised as suggested by Jakub Narebski and Junio C Hamano to use
git-for-each-ref instead of git-branch. (Thanks!)

a6080a0 (War on whitespace, 2007-06-07) removed the trailing whitespace

Using the name of the committer of the revision at the tip of the

The sed command that extracted the first line of the project description
didn't include the -n switch and hence the project name was being
printed twice. This was ruining the email header generation because it
was assumed that the description was only one line and was included in

prematurely finished the header.

The update hook is no longer the correct place to generate emails; there
is now the hooks/post-receive script which is run automatically after a
ref has been updated.
This patch is to make use of that new location, and to address some
faults in the old update hook.
The primary problem in the conversion was that in the update hook, the
ref has not actually been changed, but is about to be. In the
post-receive hook the ref has already been updated. That meant that
where we previously had lines like:
git rev-list --not --all
would now give the wrong list because "--all" in the post-receive hook
includes the ref that we are making the email for. This made it more
difficult to show only the new revisions added by this update.
The solution is not pretty; however it does work and doesn't need any
changes to git-rev-list itself. It also fixes (more accurately: reduces
the likelihood of) a nasty race when another update occurs while this
script is running. The solution, in short, looks like this (see the
source code for a longer explanation)
git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) |
git rev-list --pretty --stdin $oldrev..$newrev
This uses git-rev-parse followed by grep to filter out the revision of
the ref in question before it gets to rev-list and inhibits the output
of itself. By using $(git rev-parse $revname) rather than $newrev as the
filter, it also takes care of the situation where another update to the
same ref has been made since $refname was $newrev.
The second problem that is addressed is that of tags inhibiting the
correct output of an update email. Consider this, with somebranch and
sometag pointing at the same revision:
git push origin somebranch
git push origin sometag
That would work fine; the push of the branch would generate an email
containing all the new commits introduced by the update, then the push
of the tag would generate the shortlog formatted tag email. Now
consider:
git push origin sometag
git push origin somebranch
When some branch comes to run its "--not --all" line, it will find
sometag, and filter those commits from the email - leaving nothing.
That meant that those commits would not show (in full) on any email.
The fix is to not use "--all", and instead use "--branches" in the
git-rev-parse command.
Other changes
* Lose the monstrous one-giant-script layout and put things in easy to
digest functions. This makes it much easier to find the place you
need to change if you wanted to customise the output. I've also
tried to write more verbose comments for the same reason. The hook
script is big, mainly because of all the different cases that it has
to handle, so being easy to navigate is important.
* All uses of "git-command" changed to "git command", to cope better
if a user decided not to install all the hard links to git;
* Cleaned up some of the English in the email
* The fact that the receive hook makes the ref available also allows me
to use Shawn Pearce's fantastic suggestion that an annotated tag can
be parsed with git-for-each-ref. This removes the potentially
non-portable use of "<<<" heredocs and the nasty messing around with
"date" to convert numbers of seconds UTC to a real date
* Deletions are now caught and notified (briefly)
* To help with debugging, I've retained the command line mode from the
update hook; but made it so that the output is not emailed, it's just
printed to the screen. This could then be redirected if the user
wanted
* Removed the "Hello" from the beginning of the email - it's just
noise, and no one seriously has their day made happier by "friendly"
programs
* The fact that it doesn't rely on repository state as an indicator any
more means that it's far more stable in its output; hopefully the
same arguments will always generate the same email - even if the
repository changes in the future. This means you can easily recreate
an email should you want to.
* Included Jim Meyering's envelope sender option for the sendmail call
* The hook is now so big that it was inappropriate to copy it
to every repository by keeping it in the templates directory.
Instead, I've put a comment saying to look in contrib/hooks, and
given an example of calling the script from that template hook. The
advantage of calling the script residing at some fixed location is
that if a future package of git included a bug fixed version of the
script, that would be picked up automatically, and the user would not
have to notice and manually copy the new hook to every repository
that uses it.
