Re: [Monotone-devel] web update hooks & script

[Ben Walton]

I just did something similar the other night.  Mine is much simpler
though.  It uses the netsync hooks on the server to run a script if
there were revisions in (I don't care about branches in this case as
we only ever have one for this particular project)...the script does a
merge && update.  It then runs make, which builds html-ized texinfo
documentation and rsyncs the output of that to the web location.

Works well so far, but I suspect your version is much more useful
globally (eg contribs/).

This was my first poke at monotonerc too.
