make bootstrap fails: cp: .git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample: No such file or directory

[Sam Steingold]

Hi
The current git tip fails for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ make bootstrap
....
cd .. && ./autogen.sh
Checking whether you have the necessary tools...
(Read INSTALL.REPO for more details on building Emacs)

Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65)...
ok
Checking for automake (need at least version 1.11)...
ok
Your system has the required tools.
Running 'autoreconf -fi -I m4' ...
Installing git hooks...
cp: .git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample: No such file or directory
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

what is this hook?
why do I need it?
where do I get it?
why is it not explained in INSTALL.REPO?

thanks

My guess is that the repository was created by an older version of Git.  
Git versions before 1.6.0 didn't create .sample files for hooks.

In previous discussion about this, we thought it OK to require Git 
version 1.7.1 (April 2010) or later; see the (admittedly short) thread 
at 
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-12/msg00037.html>. 
If this needs to be revisited, now's as good a time as any to do that.

It's a hook for when you apply patches from other developers.  The 
simplest thing to solve just this problem, assuming you're running a 
recent-enough Git, is to reclone the repository from scratch.  You 
should be able to patch an existing repository built with an older Git 
by running 'chmod a+x .git/hooks/applypatch-msg 
.git/hooks/pre-applypatch; cp .git/hooks/applypatch-msg 
.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample; cp .git/hooks/pre-applypatch 
.git/hooks/pre-applypatch.sample' (though I haven't tested this).

I installed the attached patch to INSTALL.REPO to try to help clarify 
the situation a bit.

this is certainly not my case.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem with git 1.9.3 (which I just now 
built from source on Fedora 21 x86-64).  Please see the attached transcript.  I 
can reproduce the problem with git 1.5.6.6 but that's so old that we don't 
support it.

How did you clone your copy of Emacs?

If you run the following commands on your host, what's the output?

That's odd.  It doesn't look like my .git/hooks at all.  I wonder what other 
incompatibility bombs Apple has planted in their version of Git?

I installed the attached patch to try to work around the incompatibility; please 
give it a try.

* autogen.sh: Do not assume that the hook samples exist.
This ports to git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50).
For some reason Apple decided to populate the git hooks directory
in a different way from the way that standard Git does it.
The downside is that patch applications won't be checked on Apple,

If I try the same thing under macosx 10.10:

; /usr/bin/git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/testgit/.git/
; ls -R
[...]
./hooks:
applypatch-msg.sample		pre-push.sample
commit-msg.sample		pre-rebase.sample
post-update.sample		prepare-commit-msg.sample
pre-applypatch.sample		update.sample
pre-commit.sample
; /usr/bin/git --version
git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)

I ran /usr/bin/git because I also have 2.2.2 installed in /usr/local.

Hope that helps,
~Chad

FWIW, no git repository I have on OSX (2 machines about 20 repositories) 
has this layout.  This is what they have:

% ls .git/hooks/
applypatch-msg.sample*     pre-push.sample*
commit-msg.sample*         pre-rebase.sample*
post-update.sample*        prepare-commit-msg.sample*
pre-applypatch.sample*     update.sample*
pre-commit.sample*

% git --version
git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)

I think this is a local problem, not a general one.

It's beginning to sound like one.

So maybe something happened to /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks
directory (or wherever it is on OS X) on Sam's machine.  What do you
(Sam) see there?

Or maybe Sam has an alias that calls "git init" with --template
option, pointing it to  a non-standard place.  (What does
"git config -l" display?)

Or maybe GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR is set in the environment on Sam's machine.

Or something similar.

aha!!!
I do have

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[init]
	templatedir = ~/.git-templates
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in .gitconfig; removing it fixed the problem.
Sorry.

Now, the reason I have the .git-templates is to call ctags after each
git operation; I thought that those things were cumulative with the
system-provided git hooks.

I wonder if I can keep my ctags hooks and get the new git *.sample
scripts too.

Thanks!

Maybe something like 'ln -s /usr/local/share/git-core/templates/hooks/* 
~/.git-templates'?  (Or 'cp' if 'ln -s' doesn't suffice.)  This is 
brittle in case a later Git version adds more standard templates, but it 
should be better than what you've got now.

I updated the ChangeLog entry for the autogen.sh change, to reflect the 
new diagnosis of the actual problem.
