: A pre or post update hook would be very useful.

[Eoin Dunne <eo...@ihsenergy.com>]

> We've run into situations where a pre or post update would be very useful.
> Basically we include "special" instructions in each commit log.  The
> special instructions might be something like "update to latest version of
> some tool or library" before running the build.  If someone is on holidays
> (for example) and updates 20 or 30 revisions, it's a huge pain to have to
> go through old logs to verify the existence of special instructions.  With
> a pre or post update hook, we could trigger an email that would tell a
> user that in the 20 revisions they just applied they missed some special
> instructions.
> 
> Since a framework already exists for hooks, it would be great to simply
> extend that framework to include a pre or post update hook.
