Re: git push from client is not updating files on server

Thank you all for the recommendations.  I will try them.

I would like to confirm some info.

Junio,

Your assumption of my setup correct.  I shall read on post-update
hook.  If you have a recommended link for it, please share it.

Neal,

You are also correct.  My current configuration's reaction to a push
shows that the bare repo that was cloned from a non-bare repo are
independent of each other.  I will also try your recommendation.

Holger,

Thank you for explaining what Neal meant.

Regards,
j

Create a new non-bare clone of your bare repo. Then do git-pull on the
new non-bare after the bare gets updates (someone does git push to it)
and you want to test those new commits. The worktree of the new non-bare
clone can be the document root of your testing virtual host, if that's
what you're doing. That way, you know that no one else is messing with
new non-bare (test repo) like doing development in it and messing up
your tests.

To expand on Neals method, if you do git fetch (periodically in a cron job
for example) on the cloned non-bare, 'git log HEAD..origin/HEAD' will have
output only if the non-bare has new commits.
