tags pattern

[annick collet <an...@hotmail.com>]

Dear all,

I'd like to modify the pre-commit hook in order that whenever a transaction 
is a add in /tags folder, to check that the new-tag follows naming 
convention such as 9.9.9[R/T/A]

How can I test that the tag name is with pattern ?

Thanks, Ann.

Here's a pre-commit hook script to do this. You'll probably have to  
adjust the path to svnlook within the script.

I hope I got it to check what you wanted to check. I interpreted  
"9.9.9[R/T/A]" to mean "number, dot, number, dot, number, and then R  
or T or A". If you meant something different, you'll have to adjust  
the regular expression.

The script was developed on Mac OS X, so I hope it would also work  
without problems on *BSD systems. Mac OS X uses the BSD version of  
sed, and I'm worried that the script might not work on Linux or other  
systems with the GNU sed implementation because it has different  
switches. Mac OS X has the GNU version of grep.

It obviously won't work at all on Windows. You'd need to write a  
batch script, or a python script or a perl script or a visual basic  
script or what have you.
