Most hooks are run on the client, but a few are run on the server.  (Also

see the `push-and-update plugin`_ that handles one special case of

itself.  The third argument is a name ``'My post_push hook'``, which can be
55

used in progress messages and error messages.

To reduce the start-up time of Bazaar it is also possible to "lazily" install hooks,
 
58
using the ``bzrlib.hooks.install_lazy_named_hook`` function. This removes the need
 
59
to load the module that contains the hook point just to install the hook. Here's lazy
 
60
version of the example above::
 
61
 
 
62
    from bzrlib import hooks
 
63
 
 
64
    def post_push_hook(push_result):
 
65
        print "The new revno is %d" % push_result.new_revno

    hooks.install_lazy_named_hook('bzrlib.branch', 'Branch.hooks',

        'post_push', post_push_hook, 'My post_push hook')
