git-http-backend with hooks

Tajti Ákos· May 26, 2012, 14:11 UTC · lore

dear list,

we wrote a script that is basically a proxy before git-http-backend. All git requests go through this and if some criteria is true then they're passed to git-http-backend. We also have hooks in our repositories. The problem is that in some cases we don't want the hooks to run. Is it possible to somehow tell git-http-backend that the hooks shouldn't be run?

thanks in advance, ákos tajti

set an env var in your proxy (before it passes to git-http-backend) then test for that in the hook code and exit
