Name
pre-commit — Notification just prior to commit completion.
Description
The pre-commit hook
is run just before a commit transaction is promoted to a new revision.
Typically, this hook is used to protect against commits that are
disallowed due to content or location (e.g., your site might require
that all commits to a certain branch include a ticket number from the
bug tracker, or that the incoming log message is nonempty).
If the pre-commit hook
program returns a nonzero exit value, the commit is aborted, the
commit transaction is removed, and anything printed to stderr is marshaled back to the
client.
Input parameter(s)
The command-line arguments passed to the hook program, in order, are:
Repository path
Commit transaction name
