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.
> '_devtools/git-hooks/post-commit' does not fail gracefully on missing the
> local branch 'asf-site'

> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: website
> Reporter: Josh Elser
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Trivial
>
> 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.
