Hooks and parameters

[François <fr...@yahoo.ca>]

Hi,

Is it possible to send custom parameters to hooks? And if so, does Tortoise
SVN allow it?

My goal is to be able to switch between two different actions in a
post-commit, depending on the user's input.

Thanks.

François

Hello François,

In CVS, I saw some plugins that parses the log message, obtaining some tags
to do different actions. Ex.: A CVS + Mantis integrations looks for #Issue:
Blah# in the log message. If it has some, change the issue "Blah" status in
mantis based on this tag.

This is an approach. Not so beatiful, but works.

No.  The hook interface is defined in the subversion server code.  You
would need to patch the code and recompile in order to change it.

The TortoiseSVN interface works on the client side.  Hooks are
triggered on the server not the client.  Your TortoiseSVN client like
any other client would cause the server to trigger the hooks.

There is no way to do what you are asking.  Things are not set up that
way.  Please provide a little more detail.  What are you trying to do?

The post-commit is non-interactive.  It is invoked *after* the
commit.  It is too late to affect the commit at that time.  In the
pre-commit you are not allowed to modify the transaction.  The
template documents what can and cannot be done in pre-commit.
