Either I am horribly confused or HTTP pulls have not been working on post 1.6 gits and no one has noticed till now :-) ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2008-12-15 17:06 Subject: Re: hooks/post-update execs git-update-server-info Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m3zlixcqrb.fsf%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: ``` Sitaram Chamarty writes: > shouldn't .git/hooks/post-update contain "exec git > update-server-info" (note the space not hyphen) instead of > "exec git-update-server-info"? > > Either I am horribly confused or HTTP pulls have not been > working on post 1.6 gits and no one has noticed till now :-) If I understand correctly hooks run with GIT_EXEC_PATH prepended to PATH, so everything should work; and it has to work to not force users to upgrade their (perhaps customized) hooks after upgrading git. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git ``` ## Sitaram Chamarty, 2008-12-16 01:27 Subject: Re: hooks/post-update execs git-update-server-info Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/slrngke0vs.9c3.sitaramc%40atcmail.atc.tcs.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 2008-12-15, Jakub Narebski wrote: > Sitaram Chamarty writes: >> shouldn't .git/hooks/post-update contain "exec git >> update-server-info" (note the space not hyphen) instead of > If I understand correctly hooks run with GIT_EXEC_PATH prepended to > PATH, so everything should work; and it has to work to not force users you're right -- it does. There was something else wrong in my quick-and-dirty testing that caused me to jump to the wrong conclusion; sorry for the noise! ```
