Quoting from the relevant +section of the documentation: + + Before each ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/update file exists + and executable, it is called with three parameters: + + $GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname sha1-old sha1-new + + The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the + master head this is "refs/heads/master". Two sha1 are the + object names for the refname before and after the update. Note + that the hook is called before the refname is updated, so either + sha1-old is 0{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet), or it + should match what is recorded in refname. + +So if your policy is (1) always require fast-forward push +(i.e. never allow "git-push repo +branch:branch"), (2) you +have a list of users allowed to update each branch, and (3) you +do not let tags to be overwritten, then: + + #!/bin/sh + # This is a sample hooks/update script, written by JC + # in his e-mail buffer, so naturally it is not tested + # but hopefully would convey the idea. + + umask 002 + case "$1" in + refs/tags/*) + # No overwriting an existing tag + if test -f "$GIT_DIR/$1" + then + exit 1 + fi + ;; + refs/heads/*) + # No rebasing or rewinding + if expr "$2" : '0*$' >/dev/null + then + # creating a new branch + ; + else + # updating -- make sure it is a fast forward + mb=`git-merge-base "$2" "$3"` + case "$mb,$2" in + "$2,$mb") + ;; # fast forward -- happy + *) + exit 1 ;; # unhappy + esac + fi + ;; + *) + # No funny refs allowed + exit 1 + ;; + esac + + # Is the user allowed to update it? + me=`id -u -n` ;# e.g. "junio" + while read head_pattern users + do + if expr "$1" : "$head_pattern" >/dev/null + then + case " $users " in + *" $me "*) + exit 0 ;; # happy + ' * ') + exit 0 ;; # anybody + esac + fi + done + exit 1 + +For the sake of simplicity, I assumed that you keep something +like this in $GIT_DIR/info/allowed-pushers file: + + refs/heads/master junio + refs/heads/cogito$ pasky + refs/heads/bw/ linus + refs/heads/tmp/ * + refs/tags/v[0-9]* junio + +With this, Linus can push or create "bw/penguin" or "bw/zebra" +or "bw/panda" branches, Pasky can do only "cogito", and I can do +master branch and make versioned tags.
