Merge branch 'jx/proc-receive-hook'
"git receive-pack" that accepts requests by "git push" learned to outsource most of the ref updates to the new "proc-receive" hook. * jx/proc-receive-hook: doc: add documentation for the proc-receive hook transport: parse report options for tracking refs t5411: test updates of remote-tracking branches receive-pack: new config receive.procReceiveRefs doc: add document for capability report-status-v2 New capability "report-status-v2" for git-push receive-pack: feed report options to post-receive receive-pack: add new proc-receive hook t5411: add basic test cases for proc-receive hook transport: not report a non-head push as a branch

+proc-receive
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. If the server has
+set the multi-valued config variable `receive.procReceiveRefs`, and the
+commands sent to 'receive-pack' have matching reference names, these
+commands will be executed by this hook, instead of by the internal
+`execute_commands()` function. This hook is responsible for updating
+the relevant references and reporting the results back to 'receive-pack'.
+
+This hook executes once for the receive operation. It takes no
+arguments, but uses a pkt-line format protocol to communicate with
+'receive-pack' to read commands, push-options and send results. In the
+following example for the protocol, the letter 'S' stands for
+'receive-pack' and the letter 'H' stands for this hook.
+
+ # Version and features negotiation.
+ S: PKT-LINE(version=1\0push-options atomic...)
+ S: flush-pkt
+ H: PKT-LINE(version=1\0push-options...)
+ H: flush-pkt
+
+ # Send commands from server to the hook.
+ S: PKT-LINE(<old-oid> <new-oid> <ref>)
+ S: ... ...
+ S: flush-pkt
+ # Send push-options only if the 'push-options' feature is enabled.
+ S: PKT-LINE(push-option)
+ S: ... ...
+ S: flush-pkt
+
+ # Receive result from the hook.
+ # OK, run this command successfully.
+ H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>)
+ # NO, I reject it.
+ H: PKT-LINE(ng <ref> <reason>)
+ # Fall through, let 'receive-pack' to execute it.
+ H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>)
+ H: PKT-LINE(option fall-through)
+ # OK, but has an alternate reference. The alternate reference name
+ # and other status can be given in option directives.
+ H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>)
+ H: PKT-LINE(option refname <refname>)
+ H: PKT-LINE(option old-oid <old-oid>)
+ H: PKT-LINE(option new-oid <new-oid>)
+ H: PKT-LINE(option forced-update)
+ H: ... ...
+ H: flush-pkt
+
+Each command for the 'proc-receive' hook may point to a pseudo-reference
+and always has a zero-old as its old-oid, while the 'proc-receive' hook
+may update an alternate reference and the alternate reference may exist
+already with a non-zero old-oid. For this case, this hook will use
+"option" directives to report extended attributes for the reference given
+by the leading "ok" directive.
+
+The report of the commands of this hook should have the same order as
+the input. The exit status of the 'proc-receive' hook only determines
+the success or failure of the group of commands sent to it, unless
+atomic push is in use.
