Hi, To make a long story short, I've always desired to run a script on a hook feature. After a few times needing it, I decided to make a version of it myself (I think some people had done this in the past).
I remember talking with someone about this feature (a few days ago I thought it was with Dr. Hipp, but now I'm not that sure, and I misplaced my old email address backup). If my memory serves me well, the conversation conclusion was that it wasn't included into fossil because it couldn't be replicated into Windows without it opening a new window. So I wrote a Windows version that runs without creating a window for command line programs (of course, if you open an application with a window, let's say notepad, it WILL open a window). I also wrote a very simple UNIX version. The normal behaviour is to wait for the child process to finish execution, but there is a way to override it. The present syntax for it is: exec ?NOWAIT? Command I think that adding the ability to capture the app stdout (and stderr) would be a great thing. That way it could be even more powerful than git hooks. But actually, I've never used TH1 before, so I don't even know if it's possible to return values out of a function, nor if there is a limit on strings length. I want to share my working proof of concept with you guys, so you can test it and give feedback on it. What is the best way to do it? How do I get allowed to push to a branch in the main repo?
