[EDIT] FILE: sendemail-validate.sample

#!/bin/sh

# An example hook script to validate a patch (and/or patch series) before
# sending it via email.
#
# The hook should exit with non-zero status after issuing an appropriate
# message if it wants to prevent the email(s) from being sent.
#
# To enable this hook, rename this file to "sendemail-validate".
#
# By default, it will only check that the patch(es) can be applied on top of
# the default upstream branch without conflicts in a secondary worktree. After
# validation (successful or not) of the last patch of a series, the worktree
# will be deleted.
#
# The following config variables can be set to change the default remote and
# remote ref that are used to apply the patches against:
#
#   sendemail.validateRemote (default: origin)
#   sendemail.validateRemoteRef (default: HEAD)
#
# Replace the TODO placeholders with appropriate checks according to your
# needs.

validate_cover_letter () {
	file="$1"
	# TODO: Replace with appropriate checks (e.g. spell checking).
	true
}

validate_patch () {
	file="$1"
	# Ensure that the patch applies without conflicts.
	git am -3 "$file" || return
	# TODO: Replace with appropriate checks for this patch
	# (e.g. checkpatch.pl).
	true
}

validate_series () {
	# TODO: Replace with appropriate checks for the whole series
	# (e.g. quick build, coding style checks, etc.).
	true
}
