Overview

Tweaks for using git in a corporate/close-team environment.

Scripts

checkout: does the right thing for creating/tracking a new or existing remote branch
push: pushes only the current branch to origin
pull: pulls changes down but with rebase-i-p to avoid same-branch merges and commit replays

Server-side Hooks

See the individual scripts for documentation, but an overview:

post-receive-commitnumbers: makes Subversion-like monotonically increasing commit numbers for every commit
post-receive-email: contrib email script with customizations for stuff like combined diffs
post-receive-gitconfig: auto-updates the git config+hooks on the server when updated in the repo
post-receive-hudson: auto-creates new jobs in Hudson when branches in git are created
post-receive-trac: updates trac tickets with messages referencing the commits
update-allow-tags-branches: contrib/example branch/tag enforcement script with customizations
update-ensure-follows: allows nomination of special branches (e.g. stable) that everyone must have merged
update-ensure-ticket-reference: enforces ticket references in commit messages (e.g. for trac)
update-lock-check: enforces locked/preserved branches
update-stable: enforces proper movement of stable

Client-side Hooks

commit-msg-trac: enforces ticket references in commit messages

Bootstrapping Scripts

create-gitconfig: creates a new DAG for managing repository-specific configuration (works with post-receive-gitconfig)
create-stable: creates a new DAG for the first release to merge in to (works with update-stable)

Install Server-side Hooks

Download/clone the gc repo to something like /srv/git/gc
Edit your_repo.git/hooks/post-receive and your_repo.git/hooks/update to call the gc hooks as appropriate
- post-receive.sample and update.sample are good templates to use for calling multiple hooks

Todo

Install approach for scripts
Install for client hooks
