Serverside Scripting
Hi,
Can anyone please tell me if Subversion supports server side scripting ?
My requirements are
*) if a source file has variables like $Revision $Author that should get
replaced with commit version and author name. Something similar to what CVS
supports
*) Assuming my developers are responsible and provide good logging
information on every commit, I would like to consolidate for easy reference.
Essentially on server side, on every commit, I would like to update one or
more files in repository with current commit version, log text info etc.

thanks

Sure. Read the friendly book! :-)

The feature is called svn:keywords:

These are called hook scripts:

Use keywords for this. A commit script should not modify the contents
of a file being committed, because then the repository won't ever
match the developer's working copy.

Again, a commit script modifying the repository is generally a bad
idea unless you can separate very strongly the files being committed
from the second update that the script is doing.
The "server side scripting" you're looking for is a feature called
"hooks" and these are pretty well-documented in Subversion resources
such as The Book (http://svnbook.org/).
