#!/usr/bin/perl # 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. # 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 use strict; use warnings; # mapping between gitolite userid and correct email address is encapsulated in # this subroutine; change as you like sub email_ok { my ($author_email) = shift; my $expected_email = "$ENV{GL_USER}\@atc.tcs.com"; return $author_email eq $expected_email; } # print STDERR "SECONDARY HOOK:\n" . join(",", @ARGV, "\n"); my ($ref, $old, $new) = @ARGV; for my $rev ( `git log --format="%ae\t%h\t%s" $new --not --all` ) { chomp($rev); my ($author_email, $hash, $subject) = split /\t/, $rev; die "$ENV{GL_USER}, you can't push $hash authored by $author_email\n" . "\t(subject of commit was $subject)\n" unless email_ok($author_email); } exit 0;
