Windows hook needed?

[Kenneth Chu <ke...@nxp.com>]

Hello,

I am a newbie to SVN.
Recently I installed TortoiseSVN 1.4.8 and SVN 1.4.6 on a Windows 2003
machine for our organization.
Everything was successfully set up, except for hook scripts.
As I read from the SVN manual, in order to run the hook scripts on Windows,
they need to be re-written.

But is it necessary to have hook scripts configured to run? It appears that
TortoiseSVN client is able to perform check in/out operations successfully
just by itself.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Welcome to Subversion!

Hook scripts are only needed if you want to perform additional  
actions at start-commit, pre-commit, post-commit, pre-revprop-change,  
or any of the other points at which hook scripts can be run.

Some example hook scripts are written in bash, which is not available  
on Windows unless you install Cygwin. If you want to use hook scripts  
on a Windows server (or any other server), you'll have to write them  
in a language your server supports. Windows supports VisualBasic  
scripts, you can install Perl or Python or PHP or Ruby or any of a  
number of other scripting languages if you prefer those, etc.
