Package: git Version: 1:2.13.2-3 https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/git-man/git-receive-pack.1.en.html#QUARANTINE_ENVIRONMENT
3.The pre-receive hook MUST NOT update any refs to point to quarantined objects. Other programs accessing the repository will not be able to see the objects (and if the pre-receive hook fails, those refs would become corrupted). For safety, any ref updates from within pre-receive are automatically rejected. dgit-push-receiver does exactly that. It has its own quarantine arrangement, for mainly the same reasons that git now has one. (Also dgit-push-receiver likes to update some refs that weren't provided by the caller. This is also going to be needed for proper handling of signed pushes.) I can't easily rip the code out of dgit-push-receiver because that would make it wrong (in a security-relevant way) on stretch. Also, I have the problem that git-receive-pack inseparately combines the two operations "transfer the quarantined objects" and "tell the client the push succeeded". So I can't simply do my ref updates after git-receive-pack has exited. Can there be a way to disable this feature of git please ? Ian. -- Ian Jackson <[email protected]> These opinions are my own.
