Getting working copy information in Subversion pre-commit hook?

[Alec Kloss <al...@oracle.com>]

I suspect this would require a client change, but it would be
really handy to be able to get the client's idea of repository URL
and repository root from inside a pre-commit hook.  It would allow
the error message returned to the client to provide correct local
filesystem paths and/or URLs into the repository.  The client has
the data handy (it's exactly what svn info shows) and as far as I
can tell, there's no reliable way to compute it on the server.  

Thoughts?

You're right, the server has no idea what working copy you committed  
from. There's no way to do this. I doubt that's going to change  
either because there's really no need for the server to know. And the  
user hopefully already knows what working copy they're in.
