Can I check out/access the hook scripts remotely through the svn client?

[Jeff Vincent <jv...@novell.com>]

		I was just wondering if there was an equivalent to the
"cvs checkout CVSROOT" command so that I can modify my hook scripts (I
can't find any).  The SVN server is managed by our IS&T department and I
don't have physical (or ssh) access.

I want to add some stuff to the pre_commit script to check for the
svn:keywords property and if possible, things like copyright notices and
such on certain types of source code files.  I am trying to get as close
to server-side updating of embedded keywords like $Id$ as possible.

You could check the hooks directory into the repository somewhere, and 
set up a hook script to run
	svn up
on the hooks directory whenever a change is commited.
Of course, if someone commites a borked script to the hooks directory, 
then you could have a hell of a time trying to fix it.

Just make your scripts as part of your regular repository, but keep 
them in special folder besides standard trunk/branches/tags, e.g. 
hooks. Update & commit changes from your working copy as normal, but 
in post-commit script (running on server) copy new versions of 
scripts to hooks directory in your repository.

You can combine this with standard solution for rights by pre-commit 
script and allow only you to change files in hooks folder in repo.
