Should documentation be part of githooks or git-svn man page ?

As for the 'whitespace damage", I do not understand what you mean.
The \n look mandatory to me.
You may look at 'info perlfunc' for the original code snippet (see 
'system' function).

I'd also put it in the git-svn page, since git-svn is somehow not really
part of Git.

I'd say "an SVN", not "a SVN", but the documentation already use both
forms.

I'm not talking about the \n, but the fact that what used to be a single
line of code is broken in two parts in your message.

A patch hunk has lines starting with " ", "+" or "-", yours have a line
starting with $. It won't apply with "patch" or "git apply", hence extra
work for our maintainer.

Try using "git send-email" to avoid that.

And actually, read Documentation/SubmittingPatches, in particular the
part about Signed-off-by.

[PATCH] git svn : hook before 'git svn dcommit'

[Frédéric Heitzmann]

The 'pre-svn-dcommit' hook is called by 'git svn dcommit' and can be used to
prevent some diff to be committed to a SVN repository. It may typically be
used to filter some intermediate patches, which were committed into git but
must not find their way to the SVN repository.

It takes a single parameter, the reference given to 'git svn dcommit'. If the
hook exists with a non zero-status, 'git svn dcommit' will abort.

Why 2 patches?

We usually try to have each commit as correct as possible (e.g. when
sending several patches, each commit should still pass the testsuite).
With your 2-patches serie, the first commit has documentation for a
feature which doesn't exist yet.

I find it easier to separate commits on documentation from code patch, 
especially for rereading and dicussing.
However, if it is desirable to get them merged, I could do that easily.

As for the order :
patch 1/2 : perl magic
patch 2/2 : documentation update
=>  the serie looks in the right order to me.

It appears that this is in the same spirit as the pre-commit hook used in
"git commit", so it may not hurt but I do not know if having a separate
hook is the optimal approach to achieve what it wants to do.

I notice that git-svn users have been happily using the subsystem without
need for any hook (not just pre-commit). Does "git svn" need an equivalent
of pre-commit hook? If so, does it need equivalents to other hooks as
well? I am not suggesting you to add support for a boatload of other hooks
in this patch---I am trying to see if this is really a necessary change to
begin with.

Eric, do you want this one?

Why force two stat(), instead of just "if ! -x $hook"?  Doesn't it respond
to a non-existing $hook with "there is nothing executable there" just fine?

I'm not sure.  I feel hooks should be avoided whenever possible, and
a git-svn-specific hook for dcommit wouldn't place the same restriction
as a server-side SVN hook for svn(1) users.

Preventing certain commits from accidentally hitting the SVN server can
be useful, I think.  On the other hand, I'm not sure if people who run
accidental dcommits would remember to the pre-dcommit hook, either.

Perhaps an interactive option for dcommit would be just as useful?

Test cases are required for any new features of git-svn, though.

Failure messages should definitely go to stderr.

Re: [PATCH v2] git svn : hook before 'git svn dcommit'

[Frédéric Heitzmann]

Hi all.

Maybe I should give some more context to explain why a hook could be a
potential improvement.

Let's consider the following workflow :
1) git svn clone from the SVN server, then git checkout -b topic
2) git commit some "reference data", before starting some optimization
or code refactoring.
** These reference data are not supposed to find their way to the SVN server **
Committing such "reference data" is just a convenience because git
does a great job to show how these data may or may not change during
the development process.
3) hack, test, commit ...
3 bis) it may happen that reference data change for some very good
reason (for instance some protocol change)
New reference data are then commited.

back to 3 ...

4) Before merging back to master and commitng to SVN, it is necessary
to remove commits with reference data (git rebase -i --onto master
master topic ...)
5) merge topic branch with master and git svn dcommit

-- end --

It is very easy to forget step 4, and svn commit lots of useless data.

Proposal 1)
* commit reference data with some specific mark in the commit message
(e.g. "NO_SVN")
* use pre-svn-dcommit hook to detect such commits

Proposal 2) (not fully feasable for what I know)
* git svn clone to a bare repo
* clone a working repo from the the bare repo.
* steps 2, 3, maybe 3bis, ... then 4
* push commits to the bare repo, while using pre-receive or update
hook to look for wrong commits, and abort if so.
* use post-receive hook to trigger git svn dcommit

Main drawback for proposal 2 (appart from needing 2 repo instead of
one) is that each time you want to update your working  repo, you have
to git svn rebase the bare repo, then git pull.

Proposal 2bis)
* add a pre-send hook on the bare repo, and trigger some git svn
rebase with this hook.
I am not sure to see all the potential consequences of such a hook though.

All things begin equal, proposal 1 seems to be the easier path, but it
is highly debatable.

I agree.

The problem with this is hook standardization across committers and even
across different machines/directories a committer may use.

Proposal 2 is way too complicated, I hate it.

I had Proposal 3 in my original response:

1 and 3 can both implemented, but I think 3 would be easier to
use/setup/standardize.  I suspect it's also easier to train oneself to
always use "dcommit -i".  Perhaps even default to interactive mode
like git-send-email does nowadays.

Unfortunately interactive dcommit requires more effort to implement.

It seems that proposal 3 is somehow equivalent to
$ git rebase -i --onto remotes/trunk remotes/trunk
... check commits, maybe remove some of them, ...
$ git svn dcommit

note : is the SVN remote branch always named "remote/trunk" ? If not,
is there a way to guess its name ?

No, it would just prompt before making every commit (showing the log
message), like git-send-email can before sending every message.

git svn dcommit --dry-run will print the URL from which you can
infer the remote branch.  There might be an easier way, but I
can't remember... (I don't see SVN much nowadays, most projects
I've cared about migrated to git)

I have written a local script for exactly the problem you described after looking
for a git svn dcommit hook I could use (as you did).
I attached it, so feel free to use it. Simply add it to your bin and run it
with   git dcommit    instead of  git svn dcommit

Pls read the comment for further explanation how this script is used.


#!/bin/bash
# Copyright © Peter Baumann, 2011
#
# Wrapper script around git svn dcommit, which adds some useful functionality
#
# This script will prevent accidentally commiting some commits not yet ready
# into SVN. Commits starting with (case insensitive) debug, wip, fixup are
# considered not appropriate for putting them into SVN. The main reason for
# this functionality is the specific workflow I use. I always have some 
# internal debug commits (e.g. enhanced debug logging) or simply work in progress
# commits which should never be put into SVN. 
#
# To avoid putting those into SVN, I rebase all commits so that my WIP/DEBUG commits 
# are on top of the commits ment for SVN.
# Calling this script via "git dcommit" after the rebase makes sure only commits
# beneath the WIP commits are considered for SVN. 
# Furthermore, a shortlog of commits ment for SVN is shown and the user has
# to confirm before actually putting them into SVN.
#
# If this script is called via a specific commit (e.g. via its SHA1) as parameter,
# then only commits beneath and including the commit itself are committet to SVN.

Hi there

I'm trying to set up a post git svn dcommit hook in order to automatically
deliver stories via Pivotal Tracker:

Do you think you could help?

Thanks.
