I *implemented* something almost exactly like the above, way WAY back in the first year of svn development. It provided templates for both hooks and an initial repository [layout] commit. We ripped it out soon thereafter because it was just too easy for an external script to do this kind of work, rather than building it into Subversion itself. :-P IOW, yes I agree with the concept. I'm probably still in agreement with the others who asked me to pull the feature: a simple script can manage the above. >... Cheers, -g
