Should I add a server reset on the post-receive hook.

[IanHung]

The post-receive hook executes whenever it receives a git push. The question is should the server reset upon receiving a post-receive hook?

Pros: No need to ssh into the server ever. All updates are automated via git pushes.
Cons: Without proper testing server restarts may serve bad code crashing site. Need proper testing before trying to go live.

I think it sounds like a useful feature. How bad can bad code be? If it can
get disastrously bad I'm okay with the site crashing because of a bad
update. As long as it's easy to revert.

To fix we would need to push a working version.
