Adding/defining a property during commit

[ma...@excite.com]

Hi there,



I know that a hook script should not modify the content of a commit transaction.



Does anyone have a solution to add a property during commit when the client can either be Tortoise, the command line or Apache and mod_dav_svn ?



Thanks in advance, Marc

Or you could have your pre-commit hook look for the property on the
file(s) being checked in, and if it's missing, reject the commit and
return an informative message back to the user.

Note that 1.5, whenever it will be finished, will also allow you to set
revision properties during a commit.

What kind of property? If you mean a versioned property on a file,  
then your hook script would have to check out a new working copy (or  
update an existing server-side one), "svn propset" the property on  
the file, and "svn commit" the new revision. You would have to  
engineer the hook carefully so that it would not act on the commit  
that it itself is then performing.

If you mean an unversioned revision property, then you can set the  
property easily. Just "svn propset --revprop -r $REV file://$REPOS  
$PROP_NAME $PROP_VALUE". You would need to install a pre-revprop- 
change hook which allows revprop changes to take place. Also note  
that I'm using the argument "-r $REV" to specify the revision. "svn  
help propset" shows that there is no way to tell it to use a  
transaction instead of a revision. So this would only work in, for  
example, the post-commit hook, not the pre-commit hook.
