[Trac] Help with Post-receive hook for Git

[Patty Cottrill]

I have a question regarding the Git post-receive hook.

 

Per the Trac Repository Admin guide (link below), the suggested post-receive hook is:

 

#!/bin/sh

tracenv=/path/to/env  # set to your Trac environment's path

repos=                # set to your repository's name

while read oldrev newrev refname; do

    if [ "$oldrev" = 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ]; then

        git rev-list --reverse "$newrev" --

    else

        git rev-list --reverse "$newrev" "^$oldrev" --

    fi | xargs trac-admin "$tracenv" changeset added "$repos"

done

 

https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracRepositoryAdmin

 

Per the ticket below in Trac Edgewall, the above hook is dangerous and the recommended hook is:

 

#!/bin/sh

tracenv=/path/to/env     # change with your Trac environment's path

repos=                   # change with your repository's name

while read oldrev newrev refname; do

    if expr "$oldrev" : '0*$' >/dev/null; then

        branches=`git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" | grep -vw "$refname"`

        git rev-list --reverse "$newrev" --not $branches --

    elif expr "$newrev" : '0*$' >/dev/null; then

        : # do nothing upon removing a branch

    else

        git rev-list --reverse "$newrev" "^$oldrev" --

    fi | xargs --no-run-if-empty trac-admin "$tracenv" changeset added "$repos"

 

done

 

https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/12763

 

Can you please tell me which hook I should be using.

I read through the different comments on that ticket, as well as #10730, but I really did not see any conclusion.

As I understand it, the danger of the first script is generating many commits at once, as well as lots of email notifications.

However, the problem with the 2^nd script is it won’t work when pushing multiple branches.

Please advise.

 

Below is the environment:

• Trac  1.2.3
• Babel 1.3
• Docutils 0.12
• Genshi 0.7 (with speedups)
• GIT 2.7.4
• mod_python 3.3.1
• Pygments 2.1
• pysqlite 2.7.0
• Python 2.7.12
• Pytz 2014.10
• setuptools 20.7.0
• SQLite 3.11.0
• jQuery 1.11.3
• jQuery UI 1.11.4
• jQuery Timepicker 1.5.5
• Apache2 2.4.18

 

 

Best,
