The service hook payloads now have the following new fields:
-
distinct=true
for commits that are new to the repository -
created=true
for new branches -
deleted=true
for branch deletions -
base=NAME
for the base ref associated with a new branch
The campfire service hook now uses these new fields to improve messages sent to campfire:
Merges
Before, merges would replay existing commits that were merged into the branch:
Now, these distinct=false
commits are ignored so only new commits show up:
This means that clean fast-forward merges no longer produce any campfire activity.
Forced Pushes
New Branches
New branches created via git push origin base:new
show the name of the base branch:
Branches created locally with commits show what’s new:
Deleted Branches
Note: Service hooks were not previously fired on branch deletions. CI and other endpoints that do not care about branch deletions can ignore deleted=true
payloads.
