[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-4540) '_devtools/git-hooks/post-commit' does not fail gracefully on missing the local branch 'asf-site'

["Christopher Tubbs (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15765312#comment-15765312 ] 

Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4540:
---------------------------------------------

FWIW, the message is produced by the built-in {{die}} function sourced from {{git-sh-setup}}, rather than doing too much custom message logging ourselves.

If we improve the error message, it should still be a fatal error message, but how does the following sound: "fatal: asf-site is not a branch; will not update it with the latest commit"?

Also, you should symlink it instead of copying it... that way you'll get the benefits of updates to the repo's master branch.

> I did a fresh clone of the accumulo-website.git repository and copied the post-commit hook into {{.git/hooks}}. Upon making my first commit, it failed:
> {{fatal: asf-site is not a branch}}
> Would be nice if we caught it when asf-site doesn't exist locally and give a better error message.
