452431 - deploy new require-single-head hook on hg.m.o, remove old one

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

The new single_head_per_branch.py hook needs to be deployed on m-c, comm-central, and all of the l10n repositories. It is located here:
http://hg.mozilla.org/users/bsmedberg_mozilla.com/index.cgi/hghooks/file/d1ffa7f6da59/mozhghooks/single_head_per_branch.py

I believe you can do this by checking out http://hg.mozilla.org/users/bsmedberg_mozilla.com/hghooks and running 'python setup.py install'

These repositories will need to have their hgrc modified as follows:
Replace this line:
  pretxnchangegroup.a_singlehead = hg_require_single_head
with this line:
  pretxnchangegroup.a_singlehead = python:mozhghooks.single_head_per_branch.hook

Should this code (hook) be deployed only for these repositories or can this code be used for any repository that wants to enforce single head?

I think that's up to the owners of the repositories. The current hook enforces a 'no active branches' policy while this one allows them. I don't think I can make that decision for people.

Done.
