+From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
+Subject: control access to branches.
+Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 23:55:32 -0800
+Message-ID: <7vfypumlu3.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
+Abstract: An example hooks/update script is presented to
+ implement repository maintenance policies, such as who can push
+ into which branch and who can make a tag.
+
+When your developer runs git-push into the repository,
+git-receive-pack is run (either locally or over ssh) as that
+developer, so is hooks/update script. Quoting from the relevant
+section of the documentation:
+
+ Before each ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/update file exists
+ and executable, it is called with three parameters:
+
+ $GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname sha1-old sha1-new
+
+ The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the
+ master head this is "refs/heads/master". Two sha1 are the
+ object names for the refname before and after the update. Note
+ that the hook is called before the refname is updated, so either
+ sha1-old is 0{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet), or it
+ should match what is recorded in refname.
+
+So if your policy is (1) always require fast-forward push
+(i.e. never allow "git-push repo +branch:branch"), (2) you
+have a list of users allowed to update each branch, and (3) you
+do not let tags to be overwritten, then:
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+ # This is a sample hooks/update script, written by JC
+ # in his e-mail buffer, so naturally it is not tested
+ # but hopefully would convey the idea.
+
+ umask 002
+ case "$1" in
+ refs/tags/*)
+ # No overwriting an existing tag
+ if test -f "$GIT_DIR/$1"
+ then
+ exit 1
+ fi
+ ;;
+ refs/heads/*)
+ # No rebasing or rewinding
+ if expr "$2" : '0*$' >/dev/null
+ then
+ # creating a new branch
+ ;
+ else
+ # updating -- make sure it is a fast forward
+ mb=`git-merge-base "$2" "$3"`
+ case "$mb,$2" in
+ "$2,$mb")
+ ;; # fast forward -- happy
+ *)
+ exit 1 ;; # unhappy
+ esac
+ fi
+ ;;
+ *)
+ # No funny refs allowed
+ exit 1
+ ;;
+ esac
+
+ # Is the user allowed to update it?
+ me=`id -u -n` ;# e.g. "junio"
+ while read head_pattern users
+ do
+ if expr "$1" : "$head_pattern" >/dev/null
+ then
+ case " $users " in
+ *" $me "*)
+ exit 0 ;; # happy
+ ' * ')
+ exit 0 ;; # anybody
+ esac
+ fi
+ done
+ exit 1
+
+For the sake of simplicity, I assumed that you keep something
+like this in $GIT_DIR/info/allowed-pushers file:
+
+ refs/heads/master junio
+ refs/heads/cogito$ pasky
+ refs/heads/bw/ linus
+ refs/heads/tmp/ *
+ refs/tags/v[0-9]* junio
+
+With this, Linus can push or create "bw/penguin" or "bw/zebra"
+or "bw/panda" branches, Pasky can do only "cogito", and I can do
+master branch and make versioned tags. And anybody can do
+tmp/blah branches. This assumes all the users are in a single
+group that can write into $GIT_DIR/ and underneath.
