# Technical notes:
# Gitolite specific script to check "author email" field of every commit
# pushed and to disallow if this email does not match the email that the
# user pushing is expected to have. Needs to be renamed to
# "update.secondary"; see gitolite docs for how to propagate this to all
# repos.
# Use without gitolite is also possible; just substitute your access
# control system's notion of "user" for the env var GL_USER in the code
# below and probably call it "update" if you dont already have an update
# hook.
# Mapping between "username" and "email address" is encapsulated in a
# subroutine for ease of changing; see code below.
# Philosophical notes:
# Doing this breaks the "D" in "DVCS", forcing all your developers to work
# to a centralised model as far as pushes are concerned. It prevents
# amending someone else's commit and pushing (this includes rebasing,
# cherry-picking, and so on, which are all impossible now). It also makes
# *any* off-line collabaration between two developers useless, because
# neither of them can push the result to the server.
# PHBs should note that validating the committer ID is NOT the same as
# reviewing the code and running QA/tests on it. If you're not
# reviewing/QA-ing the code, it's probably worthless anyway. Conversely,
# if you *are* going to review the code and run QA/tests anyway, then you
# don't really need to validate the author email!
# In a DVCS, if you *pushed* a series of commits, you have -- in some
# sense -- signed off on them. The most formal way to "sign" a series is
# to tack on and push a gpg-signed tag, although most people don't go that
# far. Gitolite's log files are designed to preserve that accountability
# to *some* extent, though; see contrib/adc/who-pushed for an admin
# defined command that quickly and easily tells you who *pushed* a
# particular commit.
# Anyway, the point is that the only purpose of this script is to
# - pander to someone who still has not grokked *D*VCS
# OR
# - tick off an item in some stupid PHB's checklist
