From 160b81ed819d870b7d098bf61b51c4bc959507f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pang Yan Han Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 23:39:35 +0800 Subject: receive-pack: don't pass non-existent refs to post-{receive,update} hooks When a push specifies deletion of non-existent refs, the post post-receive and post-update hooks receive them as input/arguments. For instance, for the following push, where refs/heads/nonexistent is a ref which does not exist on the remote side: git push origin :refs/heads/nonexistent the post-receive hook receives from standard input: SP SP refs/heads/nonexistent and the post-update hook receives as arguments: refs/heads/nonexistent which does not make sense since it is a no-op. Teach receive-pack not to pass non-existent refs to the post-receive and post-update hooks. If the push only attempts to delete non-existent refs, these hooks are not even called. The update and pre-receive hooks are still notified about attempted deletion of non-existent refs to give them a chance to inspect the situation and act on it.
