Documentation: document post-rewrite hook
This defines the behaviour of the post-rewrite hook support, which will be implemented in the following patches. We deliberately do not document how often the hook will be invoked per rewriting command, but the interface is designed to keep that at "once". This would currently not matter too much, since both rebase and filter-branch are shellscripts and spawn many processes anyway. However, when a fast sequencer in C is implemented, it will be beneficial to only have to run the hook once.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
This hook is invoked by commands that rewrite commits (`git commit
|
||||
--amend`, 'git-rebase'; currently 'git-filter-branch' does 'not' call
|
||||
it!). Its first argument denotes the command it was invoked by:
|
||||
currently one of `amend` or `rebase`. Further command-dependent
|
||||
arguments may be passed in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
The hook receives a list of the rewritten commits on stdin, in the
|
||||
format
|
||||
|
||||
<old-sha1> SP <new-sha1> [ SP <extra-info> ] LF
|
||||
|
||||
The 'extra-info' is again command-dependent. If it is empty, the
|
||||
preceding SP is also omitted. Currently, no commands pass any
|
||||
'extra-info'.
|
||||
|
||||
The following command-specific comments apply:
|
||||
|
||||
rebase::
|
||||
For the 'squash' and 'fixup' operation, all commits that were
|
||||
squashed are listed as being rewritten to the squashed commit.
|
||||
This means that there will be several lines sharing the same
|
||||
'new-sha1'.
|
||||
+
|
||||
The commits are guaranteed to be listed in the order that they were
|
||||
processed by rebase.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no default 'post-rewrite' hook, but see the
|
||||
`post-receive-copy-notes` script in `contrib/hooks` for an example
|
||||
that copies your git-notes to the rewritten commits.
