Dear TortoiseSVN maintainer, Thank you for bringing TortoiseSVN and maintaining it. It would be great if when using « svnadmin create » to create a local repo, a template MSDOS batch file was also created for the hook pre-revprop-change, All the templates are sh scripts. I have not tried to rename .tmpl to .sh and add .sh to PATHEXT + associate .sh to some bash interpreter, and see what happens. Instead I found more convenient to port from sh to cmd.exe. So here is the resulting pre-revprop-change.bat.tmpl file that user can rename pre-revprop-change.bat to use w/o changing their MSWindows environment in order to edit the svn:log property. Please feel free to use it at your convenience.
Vincent. ----8<-------8<-------8<- pre-revprop-change.bat.tmpl ----8<-------8<--- @echo off :: PRE-REVPROP-CHANGE HOOK :: :: The pre-revprop-change hook is invoked before a revision property :: is added, modified or deleted. Subversion runs this hook by invoking :: a program (script, executable, binary, etc.) named 'pre-revprop-change' :: (for which this file is a template), with the following ordered :: arguments: :: :: [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository) :: [2] REV (the revision being tweaked) :: [3] USER (the username of the person tweaking the property) :: [4] PROPNAME (the property being set on the revision) :: [5] ACTION (the property is being 'A'dded, 'M'odified, or 'D'eleted) :: :: [STDIN] PROPVAL ** the new property value is passed via STDIN. :: :: If the hook program exits with success, the propchange happens; but :: if it exits with failure (non-zero), the propchange doesn't happen. :: The hook program can use the 'svnlook' utility to examine the :: existing value of the revision property. :: :: WARNING: unlike other hooks, this hook MUST exist for revision :: properties to be changed. If the hook does not exist, Subversion :: will behave as if the hook were present, but failed. The reason :: for this is that revision properties are UNVERSIONED, meaning that :: a successful propchange is destructive; the old value is gone :: forever. We recommend the hook back up the old value somewhere. :: :: The default working directory for the invocation is undefined, so :: the program should set one explicitly if it cares. :: :: On a Unix system, the normal procedure is to have 'pre-revprop-change' :: invoke other programs to do the real work, though it may do the :: work itself too. :: :: Note that 'pre-revprop-change' must be executable by the user(s) who will :: invoke it (typically the user httpd runs as), and that user must :: have filesystem-level permission to access the repository. :: :: On a Windows system, you should name the hook program :: 'pre-revprop-change.bat' or 'pre-revprop-change.exe', :: but the basic idea is the same. :: :: The hook program runs in an empty environment, unless the server is :: explicitly configured otherwise. For example, a common problem is for :: the PATH environment variable to not be set to its usual value, so :: that subprograms fail to launch unless invoked via absolute path. :: If you're having unexpected problems with a hook program, the :: culprit may be unusual (or missing) environment variables. :: :: CAUTION: :: For security reasons, you MUST always properly quote arguments when :: you use them, as those arguments could contain whitespace or other :: problematic characters. Additionally, you should delimit the list :: of options with "--" before passing the arguments, so malicious :: clients cannot bootleg unexpected options to the commands your :: script aims to execute. :: For similar reasons, you should also add a trailing @ to URLs which :: are passed to SVN commands accepting URLs with peg revisions. :: :: Here is an example hook script, for a Unix /bin/sh interpreter. :: For more examples and pre-written hooks, see those in :: the Subversion repository at :: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/ and :: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/ set "REPOS=%1" set "REV=%2" set "USER=%3" set "PROPNAME=%4" set "ACTION=%5" if "%ACTION%" == "M" ( if "%PROPNAME%" == "svn:log" ( exit /B 0)) echo Changing revision properties other than svn:log is prohibited >&2 exit /B 1 ----8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<--- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TortoiseSVN" group.
