Hello,
I would like to push a version string to a file within the Git repo, like a version number, but not with an incremented value. I would like to put into the file the branch / tag name and the date of the head eg On the master branch within the file should be written: master 2012-10-27 The value on the master should be changed on each commit If a new branch is created the value should be: branchname <date of the latest commit> On a tag creation the tag name and date should be added on which the tag is created. I don't know how to do this, because I have found in the documentation that Git supports clients and server hook (I'm comming from SVN), so I don't know which type of hook is the best choice. IMHO it should be a server-side hook. The next question is, that I need a change on a checked in file, so the commit hash is changed, can I do something like this, because the content of the commit is changed? IMHO the version string can be added also on a check-out, I think this is the best solution. Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
