Re: post-commit hook does not show message at client

Hello,

thanks for the quick reply. I must have got the messaging part wrong, then. Well, anyway good to know how it should work. I guess I will make it fail in purpose just to notify the client.

All of the other mentioned messaging systems could be implemented as a add-on, but I really need direct feedback and cannot trust that developers have IM, SMS, etc.

Maybe this could be an issue for a CR?

Take care, Timo.
