Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] doc: add proc-receive hook info in 'git-receive-pack.adoc'
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 17:19:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901-758-introduce-hook-v5-1-35cdc6be3cc1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901-758-introduce-hook-v5-0-35cdc6be3cc1@gmail.com>
The manpage of git-receive-pack(1) documents hooks invoked when
receiving a push. The manpage does not mention the 'proc-receive' hook
though, which is also invoked as part of that process. Add a paragraph
about this hook to plug that gap.

+PROC-RECEIVE HOOK
+-----------------
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. If the server has
+set the multi-valued config variable `receive.procReceiveRefs`, and the
+commands sent to 'receive-pack' have matching reference names, these
+commands will be executed by this hook, instead of by the internal
+`execute_commands()` function. This hook is responsible for updating
+the relevant references and reporting the results back to 'receive-pack'.
