Modernize git calling conventions in hook templates

2010-03-20T16:04:38Z

The hook templates were still using/referencing 'git-foo' instead of 'git foo.' This patch updates the sample hooks to use the modern conventions instead. Signed-off-by: Ben Walton Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Make templates honour SHELL_PATH and PERL_PATH

2010-03-20T16:03:52Z

The hook script templates were hard coded to use /bin/sh and perl. This patch ensures that they use the same tools specified for the rest of the suite. The impetus for the change was noticing that, as shipped, some of the hooks used shell constructs that wouldn't work under Solaris' /bin/sh (eg: $(cmd...) substitutions).

Fix use of "perl -i" on Windows

2008-06-26T00:21:52Z

The perldiag(1) has following to say about this: "Can't do inplace edit without backup" (F) You're on a system such as MS-DOS that gets confused if you try reading from a deleted (but still opened) file. You have to say -i.bak, or some such. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Ship sample hooks with .sample suffix

2008-06-25T02:06:22Z

We used to mark hooks we ship as samples by making them unexecutable, but some filesystems cannot tell what is executable and what is not. This makes it much more explicit. The hooks are suffixed with .sample (but now are made executable), so enabling it is still one step operation (instead of "chmod +x $hook", you would do "mv $hook.sample $hook") but now they won't get accidentally enabled on systems without executable bit.
