Karl,
Yeah. I had a discussion today on irc about this and while those
are similar, I couldn't find an issue that was specific. 2619 points
out a problem with how you background a process in your hook but the
hook still waits for the backgrounded process to finish before
returning back to the client, which really means you do not benefit
from backgrounding processes in this context. Not what I'm talking
about but it is probably related. 443 is more inline with what I'm
proposing but it doesn't suggest that this functionality be available
to *all* post-* hooks. It also seems to reference some issues that
have been fixed, like the ability to return stderr for the pre-commit
hook for example. Since all pre-* hooks have this functionality, I
think that all post-* hooks would benefit from this functionality as
well. If those issues (443, 2619) are a better place to discuss, I'll
do it but this is more of a specific request I think. I've been wrong
before though so feel free to point that out.
Take care,
Jeremy
