Name

post-unlock — Notification of a successful path unlock.

Description

The post-unlock hook runs after one or more paths have been unlocked. It is typically used to send email notification of the unlock event.

If the post-unlock hook returns a nonzero exit status, the unlock will not be aborted since it has already completed. However, anything that the hook printed to stderr will be marshalled back to the client, making it easier to diagnose hook failures.

Input parameter(s)

The command-line arguments passed to the hook program, in order, are:

  1. Repository path

  2. Authenticated username of the person who unlocked the paths

Additionally, the list of paths unlocked is passed to the hook program via standard input, one path per line.
