Mercurial hook not executing properly

Question

This should be a very simple thing to have run, but for some reason it won\'t work with my Mercurial repository. All I want is for the remote repo to automatically run

Answer 1

I spent some time researching this myself. I think the answer to problem is described concisely here:

Output has to be redirected to stderr (or /dev/null), because stdout is used for the data stream.

Basically, you're not redirecting to stderr, and hence polluting stdout.
