Re: post-commit hook completely fails

Good point. I've tried sending text to logs in the past is how I know,
to be honest. So to repeat and be clear:

$ cat > post-commit
#!/bin/bash
/bin/date >> /tmp/pc.txt
/bin/true
$ chmod 777 post-commit

Still:

Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 5.

Warning: 'post-commit' hook failed with error output:

And on the host:

$ ls -l /tmp/pc.txt
ls: cannot access /tmp/pc.txt: No such file or directory

The file doesn't exist. If I run that script manually, it works. Even
if I run it as the apache user, and with "env -".

Like I said much earlier, if there is no "post-commit" file, I get no
error. But if there is anything there, an empty shell script, a symlink
to /bin/true, anything .. I get the "failed with error output" with no
error output message. Something is failing, but I don't know what, and
I don't know how to diagnose what.

P.S. To others in this thread: echo is a builtin of bash, so since this
is a bash script, the path to echo wouldn't really need to be supplied.
