Description Owen Taylor 2009-09-08 13:55:33 UTC 
pre-receive-check-policy should catch the case where someone does 'git push --tags' and has tags not on any branch.

I'm not sure git can be counted on to push the branches and tags in order with the branches first for:

 git push origin --tags master

So it makes it a little tricky to do in the shell pre-receive-check-policy - we have to "look ahead" at all the ref-updates and do the tags first. This might require writing stdin to a temp file and then processing it twice.

See:

For an example of the problems you can get without this check.

The GNOME Infrastructure Team is currently migrating its bug / issue tracker away from Bugzilla to Request Tracker and therefore all the currently open bugs have been closed and marked as OBSOLETE.

The following move will also act as a cleanup for very old and ancient tickets that were still living on Bugzilla. If your issue still hasn't been fixed as of today please report it again on the relevant RT queue.

More details about the available queues you can report the bug against can be found at https://wiki.gnome.org/Sysadmin/RequestTracker.

Thanks for your patience,

the GNOME Infrastructure Team
