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 (for example, 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 non-empty).
If the pre-commit hook program returns a non-zero exit
value, the commit is aborted, the commit transaction is
removed, and anything printed to stderr is marshalled back
to the client.
Input Parameter(s)
The command-line arguments passed to the hook program,
in order, are:
repository path
commit transaction name
Common Uses
change validation and control
