Subject: [PATCH v6 06/12] hook: mark non-parallelizable hooks
Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 11:29:28 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260404082934.173788-7-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260404082934.173788-1-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com>
From: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com>
Several hooks are known to be inherently non-parallelizable, so initialize
them with RUN_HOOKS_OPT_INIT_FORCE_SERIAL. This pins jobs=1 and overrides
any hook.jobs or runtime -j flags.
These hooks are:
applypatch-msg, pre-commit, prepare-commit-msg, commit-msg, post-commit,
post-checkout, and push-to-checkout.

hook.jobs::
Specifies how many hooks can be run simultaneously during parallelized
hook execution. If unspecified, defaults to 1 (serial execution).
+ Some hooks always run sequentially regardless of this setting because

This setting has no effect unless all configured hooks for the event have
`hook.<friendly-name>.parallel` set to `true`.
