Git/gitosis: How to check validity of user name and email?

by

Hmm, from what I gather from githooks(5) the pre-receive hook gets fed the updated refs on stdin.

#!/bin/sh

while read old new name; do
    email=$(git log -1 --pretty=format:%ae $new)
    # check email
done

You would need to check the email addresses (there can be more than one line of data) and exit the script accordingly, i.e. exit 0 for success and e.g. exit 1 for failure.
