Good luck,

The only thing that surprised me was that it was run only once. I had
expected it to be run for each patch. (My posthook still doesn't
take this
into account yet).
Ah, yes. That behavior is for several reasons, 1) it was easier to
implement, 2) that's what I needed, 3) darcs views the push of
multiple patches as one single apply. What would you recommend as a
fix for this? I want to preserve the current behavior, but the once
per patch behavior would be very nice as well. When I say fix, I
don't mean way of implementing it, but I mean a way of communicating
your intent to darcs.
I had thought there might have been arguments given to it (say, the
number of
patches or their names, or something) and/or input on standard in.
It should
be documented that there is no input given to the posthook.
There was quite a bit of discussion about this on the darcs-devel
list this summer. If I recall correctly, the favored plan was to use
environment variables to pass this information. We discussed using
files, standard io, and env variables. Each way has strengths and
weaknesses. Which way would have worked best for you?
It is very helpful though. Works well. A touch more documentation,
and maybe
an example or two of what you can do with them wouldn't hurt.
Thanks. I'll make a note of the documentation. I have at least one
more example that needs to be included. I can touch up the wording
about how often the posthook will run.
Thanks,
Jason
