That's correct. The name of the batch file should be "post-commit.bat" on
Windows.

Just clarifying that I didn't mean to say perl is an option to be called
directly as a hook. When you are calling commit-email.pl from a batch file,
perl will still need to be installed (if not already installed) on that
machine since Windows don't come with perl by default.

On Windows, the hook script should be a batch file and will need to  
be named "post-commit.bat" (not "post-commit"). Or the hook script  
can be an executable file named "post-commit.exe". I think there are  
some other options as well, but perl is not one of those options. To  
run a perl script as a hook script, you would need to write a batch  
file (which Subversion will call) which calls the perl script.

Please spend some time to understand the working of svn by reading the free
svn book. And specifically regarding hooks (link provided earlier) to solve
this issue. Everything is explained in the book.

The file "post-commit.tmpl" has to be renamed to a file called
"post-commit". The tmpl is just a template file give as an example for you.

I have no idea what NTVDM error is. All I know is that this is specific to
Windows. And since you are running Windows, please also make sure you have
perl installed. There is not going to be any use downloading and trying to
execute commit-email.pl (or SVN::Notify) without perl on the machine.

- SVN::Notify is a perl module that you can install.
- commit-email.pl is a script that comes with Subversion source code. You
can keep this file anywhere you want. For example, you can copy the file to
the hooks/ directory.

You don't need to use both. You choose any one of the above. And then call
either commit-email.pl or svnnotify in the post-commit hook script. Please
read about the hook scripts in the svn book (link provided in yesterday's
email).

What is  the type of notification that you are looking for? Are you looking
for a check-in notification where an email is sent to everyone whenever a
new revision is committed? This is achieved by using a hook script. Please
read about it here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05s02.html#svn-ch-5-sect-2.1
The source distribution of svn comes with a perl script (commit-email.pl)
that you can call from the post-commit hook to send out the commit emails.

If you are looking for any other kind of notification, can you please
provide more info?
