Post-Receive Hook Does Not Error But Does Not Copy Files

Question

I am attempting to use git to deploy changes to a site on a locally hosted server. When I push the changes from my local directory to the dev server, the post-receive hook provides the feedback I would expect if it were working, but it doesn't actually change any files in the working tree.

Also, I am developing on a mac and the site is hosted on a windows server shared on the network and mounted to /Volumes/I$

Here is the hook script

#!/bin/bash

GIT_DIR=/Volumes/I$/intranet_dev
WORK_TREE=/Volumes/I$/intranetdev

while read oldrev newrev ref
do
    if [[ $ref =~ .*/master$ ]];
    then
        echo "Master ref received.  Deploying master branch to test server..."
        mkdir -p $WORK_TREE
        git --work-tree=$WORK_TREE --git-dir=$GIT_DIR checkout -f
        echo "Git hooks deploy complete"
    else
        echo "Ref $ref successfully received.  Doing nothing: only the master branch may be deployed on this server."
    fi
done

The bare repository is located at a remote which I have labeled "test". When I issue the following command, I get the following output in my terminal...

computername:intranet username$ git push test master

remote: Master ref received.  Deploying master branch to test server...
remote: Git hooks deploy complete
To /Volumes/I$/intranet_dev
   1d9eb1f..f49b533  master -> master

This all looks as it should, but the changed files are not copied over.

Answer 1

You're checking out the current HEAD. You sure that's attached to the master branch? Why rely on that? Try checking out master instead.

Minor point, if [[ $ref = */master ]] (or as long as we're being safe and all, if [[ $ref = refs/heads/master ]] as @torek points out) is all you need there.
