pre-checkout/export hook
My company is using Subversion for multiple repositories. Some of the
repositories are for developers that should not have read access to other
parts of the repository. We are using ssh with Windows machines as clients
and as the server. I have seen some messages that talk about just this
problem and that they are looking for a pre-checkout and a pre-export hook,
but no one seems to be saying anything about whether or not these hooks are
going to be implemented. I am a programmer, but not a Subversion developer;
however, it seems to me that it would not be too difficult to implement
these hooks. Does anyone know if there are plans on implementing these
hooks?
Thanks,
Eric

It's really very easy to use svnserve with ssh in tunnel mode to
restrict access to the repository to a single user id, yet use separate
ssh keys for each user, see:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s03.html#svn-ch-6-sect-3.5
And now that svnserve will includes authz support, you can limit access
without the use of hooks.

Apache with mod_authz_svn would work if we were using apache, but we are
not. And we cannot put an http server on the machine that the repository
resides on. We are using ssh and there is no other option to this. We really
need a pre-checkout/pre-export hook. What do I need to do to get these hooks
implemented because I do not see any other option for us? Thank you for your

apache with mod_authz_svn
svnserve as it will be in 1.3.
both allow you to have fine grained control over the actions people can
do to your repos.
hope this helps
