# gitolite VREF to check if there are any merge commits in the current push.

# THIS IS DEMO CODE; please read all comments below as well as
# doc/vref.mkd before trying to use this.

# usage in conf/gitolite.conf goes like this:

#       -   VREF/MERGE_CHECK/master     =   @all
#       # reject only if the merge commit is being pushed to the master branch
#       -   VREF/MERGE_CHECK            =   @all
#       # reject merge commits to any branch

# The following code duplicates some code from parse_conf_line() and some from
# check_ref().  This duplication is the only thing that is preventing me from
# removing the "M" permission code from 'core' gitolite and using this
# instead.  However, it does demonstrate how you would do this if you had to
# create any other similar features, for example someone wanted "no non-merge
# first-parent", which is far too specific for me to add to 'core'.

# we can't run this check for tag creation or new branch creation, because
# 'git log' does not deal well with $oldsha = '0' x 40.
