Obviously, if there's no previous commit, the matching SHA-1 will be bogus. The manual page [1] explicitly says that for new refs this value is 40 ASCII characters of decimal zero: "When creating a new ref, <old-value> is 40 0.". Hence your pre/post-receive hook should just check if it sees such an all-zeroes old SHA-1 value and act accordingly -- for a start, do not try to use it in a revision range as you're doing now. 1. https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/githooks.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
