-===================

-NAME
-----
-git-receive-pack - Receive what is pushed into the repository
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-'git-receive-pack' <directory>
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Invoked by 'git send-pack' and updates the repository with the
-information fed from the remote end.
-
-This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
-The UI for the protocol is on the 'git send-pack' side, and the
-program pair is meant to be used to push updates to remote
-repository.  For pull operations, see linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
-
-The command allows for creation and fast-forwarding of sha1 refs
-(heads/tags) on the remote end (strictly speaking, it is the
-local end 'git-receive-pack' runs, but to the user who is sitting at
-the send-pack end, it is updating the remote.  Confused?)
-
-There are other real-world examples of using update and
-post-update hooks found in the Documentation/howto directory.
-
-'git-receive-pack' honours the receive.denyNonFastForwards config
-option, which tells it if updates to a ref should be denied if they
-are not fast-forwards.
-
-A number of other receive.* config options are available to tweak
-its behavior, see linkgit:git-config[1].

-<directory>::
-	The repository to sync into.
-
-PRE-RECEIVE HOOK
-----------------
-Before any ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive file exists
-and is executable, it will be invoked once with no parameters.  The
-standard input of the hook will be one line per ref to be updated:
-
-       sha1-old SP sha1-new SP refname LF
-
-The refname value is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
-head this is "refs/heads/master".  The two sha1 values before
-each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
-the update.  Refs to be created will have sha1-old equal to 0\{40},
-while refs to be deleted will have sha1-new equal to 0\{40}, otherwise
-sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in the repository.
-
-When accepting a signed push (see linkgit:git-push[1]), the signed
-push certificate is stored in a blob and an environment variable
-`GIT_PUSH_CERT` can be consulted for its object name.  See the
-description of `post-receive` hook for an example.  In addition, the
-certificate is verified using GPG and the result is exported with
-the following environment variables:
-
-`GIT_PUSH_CERT_SIGNER`::
-	The name and the e-mail address of the owner of the key that
-	signed the push certificate.
-
-`GIT_PUSH_CERT_KEY`::
-	The GPG key ID of the key that signed the push certificate.
-
-`GIT_PUSH_CERT_STATUS`::
-	The status of GPG verification of the push certificate,
-	using the same mnemonic as used in `%G?` format of `git log`
-	family of commands (see linkgit:git-log[1]).
-
-`GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE`::
-	The nonce string the process asked the signer to include
-	in the push certificate.  If this does not match the value
-	recorded on the "nonce" header in the push certificate, it
-	may indicate that the certificate is a valid one that is
-	being replayed from a separate "git push" session.
-
-`GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS`::
-`UNSOLICITED`;;
-	"git push --signed" sent a nonce when we did not ask it to
-	send one.
-`MISSING`;;
-	"git push --signed" did not send any nonce header.
-`BAD`;;
-	"git push --signed" sent a bogus nonce.
-`OK`;;
-	"git push --signed" sent the nonce we asked it to send.
-`SLOP`;;
-	"git push --signed" sent a nonce different from what we
-	asked it to send now, but in a previous session.  See
-	`GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable.
-
-`GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP`::
-	"git push --signed" sent a nonce different from what we
-	asked it to send now, but in a different session whose
-	starting time is different by this many seconds from the
-	current session.  Only meaningful when
-	`GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` says `SLOP`.
-	Also read about `receive.certNonceSlop` variable in
-	linkgit:git-config[1].
-
-This hook is called before any refname is updated and before any
-fast-forward checks are performed.
-
-If the pre-receive hook exits with a non-zero exit status no updates
-will be performed, and the update, post-receive and post-update
-hooks will not be invoked either.  This can be useful to quickly
-bail out if the update is not to be supported.
-
-See the notes on the quarantine environment below.
-
-UPDATE HOOK
------------
-Before each ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/update file exists
-and is executable, it is invoked once per ref, with three parameters:
-
-       $GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname sha1-old sha1-new
-
-The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
-head this is "refs/heads/master".  The two sha1 arguments are
-the object names for the refname before and after the update.
-Note that the hook is called before the refname is updated,
-so either sha1-old is 0\{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet),
-or it should match what is recorded in refname.
-
-The hook should exit with non-zero status if it wants to disallow
-updating the named ref.  Otherwise it should exit with zero.
-
-Successful execution (a zero exit status) of this hook does not
-ensure the ref will actually be updated, it is only a prerequisite.
-As such it is not a good idea to send notices (e.g. email) from
-this hook.  Consider using the post-receive hook instead.
-
-POST-RECEIVE HOOK
------------------
-After all refs were updated (or attempted to be updated), if any
-ref update was successful, and if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive
-file exists and is executable, it will be invoked once with no
-parameters.  The standard input of the hook will be one line
-for each successfully updated ref:
-
-       sha1-old SP sha1-new SP refname LF
-
-The refname value is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
-head this is "refs/heads/master".  The two sha1 values before
-each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
-the update.  Refs that were created will have sha1-old equal to
-0\{40}, while refs that were deleted will have sha1-new equal to
-0\{40}, otherwise sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in
-the repository.
-
-The `GIT_PUSH_CERT*` environment variables can be inspected, just as
-in `pre-receive` hook, after accepting a signed push.
-
-Using this hook, it is easy to generate mails describing the updates
-to the repository.  This example script sends one mail message per
-ref listing the commits pushed to the repository, and logs the push
-certificates of signed pushes with good signatures to a logger
-service:
-
-	#!/bin/sh
-	# mail out commit update information.
-	while read oval nval ref
-	do
-		if expr "$oval" : '0*$' >/dev/null
-		then
-			echo "Created a new ref, with the following commits:"
-			git rev-list --pretty "$nval"
-		else
-			echo "New commits:"
-			git rev-list --pretty "$nval" "^$oval"
-		fi |
-		mail -s "Changes to ref $ref" commit-list@mydomain
-	done
-	# log signed push certificate, if any
-	if test -n "${GIT_PUSH_CERT-}" && test ${GIT_PUSH_CERT_STATUS} = G
-	then
-		(
-			echo expected nonce is ${GIT_PUSH_NONCE}
-			git cat-file blob ${GIT_PUSH_CERT}
-		) | mail -s "push certificate from $GIT_PUSH_CERT_SIGNER" push-log@mydomain
-	fi
-	exit 0
-
-The exit code from this hook invocation is ignored, however a
-non-zero exit code will generate an error message.
-
-Note that it is possible for refname to not have sha1-new when this
-hook runs.  This can easily occur if another user modifies the ref
-after it was updated by 'git-receive-pack', but before the hook was able
-to evaluate it.  It is recommended that hooks rely on sha1-new
-rather than the current value of refname.
-
-POST-UPDATE HOOK
-----------------
-After all other processing, if at least one ref was updated, and
-if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update file exists and is executable, then
-post-update will be called with the list of refs that have been updated.
-This can be used to implement any repository wide cleanup tasks.
-
-The exit code from this hook invocation is ignored; the only thing
-left for 'git-receive-pack' to do at that point is to exit itself
-anyway.
-
-This hook can be used, for example, to run `git update-server-info`
-if the repository is packed and is served via a dumb transport.
-
-	#!/bin/sh
-	exec git update-server-info
-
-
-QUARANTINE ENVIRONMENT
-----------------------
-
-When `receive-pack` takes in objects, they are placed into a temporary
-"quarantine" directory within the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory and
-migrated into the main object store only after the `pre-receive` hook
-has completed. If the push fails before then, the temporary directory is
-removed entirely.
-
-This has a few user-visible effects and caveats:
-
-  1. Pushes which fail due to problems with the incoming pack, missing
-     objects, or due to the `pre-receive` hook will not leave any
-     on-disk data. This is usually helpful to prevent repeated failed
-     pushes from filling up your disk, but can make debugging more
-     challenging.
-
-  2. Any objects created by the `pre-receive` hook will be created in
-     the quarantine directory (and migrated only if it succeeds).
-
-  3. The `pre-receive` hook MUST NOT update any refs to point to
-     quarantined objects. Other programs accessing the repository will
-     not be able to see the objects (and if the pre-receive hook fails,
-     those refs would become corrupted). For safety, any ref updates
-     from within `pre-receive` are automatically rejected.
