 745 and needed to be kept up-to-date.  The www.kernel.org/ servers
 746 are mirrored and I was told that the origin of the mirror is on
 747 the machine $some.kernel.org, on which I was given an account
 748 when I took over Git maintainership from Linus.</p></div>
 749 <div class="paragraph"><p>The directories relevant to this how-to are these two:</p></div>

 751 <div class="content">
 752 <pre><code>/pub/scm/git/git.git/       The public Git repository.
 753 /pub/software/scm/git/docs/ The HTML documentation page.</code></pre>
 754 </div></div>
 755 <div class="paragraph"><p>So I made a repository to generate the documentation under my

 761 $ git clone /pub/scm/git/git.git/ docgen</code></pre>

 763 <div class="paragraph"><p>What needs to happen is to update the $HOME/doc-git/docgen/
 764 working tree, build HTML docs there and install the result in
 765 /pub/software/scm/git/docs/ directory.  So I wrote a little
 766 script:</p></div>

 808 </div></div>
 809 <div class="paragraph"><p>There are four things worth mentioning:</p></div>
 810 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 811 <li>
 812 <p>
 813 The update-hook is run after the repository accepts a "git
 814    push", under my user privilege.  It is given the full names
 815    of refs that have been updated as arguments.  My post-update
 816    runs the dododoc.sh script only when the master head is
 817    updated.
 818 </p>
 819 </li>
 820 <li>
 821 <p>
 822 When update-hook is run, GIT_DIR is set to <em>.</em> by the calling
 823    receive-pack.  This is inherited by the dododoc.sh run via
 824    the "at" command, and needs to be unset; otherwise, "git
 825    pull" it does into $HOME/doc-git/docgen/ repository would not
 826    work correctly.
 827 </p>
 828 </li>
 829 <li>
 830 <p>
 831 The stdout of update hook script is not connected to git
 832    push; I run the heavy part of the command inside "at", to
 833    receive the execution report via e-mail.
 834 </p>
 835 </li>
 836 <li>
 837 <p>
 838 This is still crude and does not protect against simultaneous
 839    make invocations stomping on each other.  I would need to add
 840    some locking mechanism for this.
 841 </p>
