svn commit - (no author)
The last few commits into my 1.1.0 svn repository posted logs without authors.
For example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r10 | (no author) | 2004-10-06 17:29:01 -0700 (Wed, 06 Oct 2004) | 8 lines
is the beginning of a couple log entries. Did I mess up my .svn
directory somehow? Is this a sign that something more significant is
broken?
I'm assuming I can go back and change the author with some kind of
prop edit, but wouldn't that kind of feature be 'dangerous' under more
strict circumstances?
~Thanks

Can you erase everything and *just* try to do one thing: echo a short
bit of text into a file in /tmp, for example
echo "the script ran" >> /tmp/mytest.txt
Once we know it can do that, we can start adding stuff.

For the record just adding this line to the template file:
if [ "$PROPNAME" = "svn:author" ]; then exit 0; fi
fixed the problem.
I might as well ask what a better chmod code to use is though... 777
just feels sloppy.

I actually tried that earlier and figured the URL was safest, but
neither worked.

I started to hard-set them all because the script was not working. I
don't understand what the script is telling me to do. It just says
what happens.
svn propset requires this hook no matter what. It isn't like I
started messing with this to see what happens. It doesn't matter that
this property has no history and will be lost when I overwrite it, so
the script doesn't really serve a purpose at this time. I don't plan
on calling other programs to back up the lost data.
The file is executable and not on a windows system, I don't know what
else the script is telling 'me' to do. I'm a *nix newbie, so nothing
is obvious.
I thought the template starts with and protects the svn:log, because
the log property is special and has lots of other forms of
modification.
Was it expected that I would want to add a:
if [ "$PROPNAME" = "svn:author" ]; then <{do lots of stuff that
doesn't apply}> exit 0; fi
I just know that svn isn't happy and won't let me change the author property.
Should I just delete what is in the script and feed svn and empty
pre-revprop-change script?
'echo "Failing due to wrong property" 1>&2' worked fine:
$ svn propset -r 9 --revprop svn:author "author"

Oops, got that backwards, should have been:

If you want to see error output, you have to write it to STDERR, like
this:
echo "Failing due to wrong property" 2>&1
Re: svn commit - (no author)
Posted by v4r4n <co...@gmail.com>.
So the body of my script is back to:
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
USER="$3"
PROPNAME="$4"
if [ "$PROPNAME" = "svn:log" ]; then exit 0; fi
echo "Failing due to wrong property"
exit 1
-but I still only get:
$ svn propset -r 9 --revprop svn:author "author"
svn: 'pre-revprop-change' hook failed with error output:
$
"Failing due to wrong property" is not displayed since the script
probably isn't being executed at all for some reason.

REPOS should be a regular path to the repos, not a URL.
But why are you hard-setting them at all? Why not do what the
template says to do?
Secondly, you should be getting an exit with error (1), because you
hard set PROPNAME to "svn:author", and then you test for "svn:log".
And when you exit with error, you print no output, which is exactly
the symptom you're seeing...
This all seems fairly obvious. Am I missing something?

Oh, it absolutely needs to be executable. Change it back, and show us
the 'ls -lR' afterwards just for sanity checking. We can try other
solutions if it's still not working.

This sets the variable 'PROPNAME' to 'svn:author'.

This checks that the variable 'PROPNAME' is equal to 'svn:log' (which it
isn't, because it's just been set to 'svn:author' :-), and returns
success(0) if it is, and failure(1) otherwise - so it will always return
failure. You may be able to verify this by adding the line
echo "Failing due to wrong property"
before the "exit 1".
You want to keep the original:

... as this basically just gives friendly names to the parameters that

(Of course as Karl pointed out you'll need to have the script be
executable, too...)

My pre-revprop-change script is just the original pre-revprop-change.tmpl with:
REPOS="file:///example/svn/repo/project/trunk"
REV="9"
USER="author"
PROPNAME="svn:author"
if [ "$PROPNAME" = "svn:log" ]; then exit 0; fi
exit 1
Instead of:
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
USER="$3"
PROPNAME="$4"
if [ "$PROPNAME" = "svn:log" ]; then exit 0; fi
exit 1
When I first tried the command without a pre-revprop-change script it
complained that it couldn't find one, so it is finding the script, but
now it isn't telling me what is failing.
I'm not sure what you mean by the contents and full directory entry
listing including my script.
My modified *.tmpl file is simply in the project's repo/hooks
directory. There are just the original 5 template script files and my
slightly modified version with no .tmpl file extension within this
directory.
$ ls -all

I modified pre-revprop-change's executability permissions before, and
it still gave the same error response, so I left it as is.

What does your 'pre-revprop-change' script look like? Show us both

bump bump
Do I need to set up the post-revprop-change as well?
It seems there might also be a "revision property modifications" flag
that needs to be enabled somewhere?
$ svn propset -r N --revprop svn:author "author"
just isn't working. It is nice that it tells me there is an error,
but error response is blank...

bump
I know this is a newbie question, but I've never gotten a hook to work
before and I've already read through this section of the book on
hooks. I guess I am still missing something...
Thanks

Re: svn commit - (no author)
Posted by v4r4n <co...@gmail.com>.
So I modified my own version of pre-revprop-change.tmpl for this
repository, but so far every time I try to execute svn propset:
svn: 'pre-revprop-change' hook failed with error output:
and there is no output. No matter what I put into the four former
template values, it always triggers an error with zero error response
output.
What am I missing? What else do I need to add to the .tmpl? The code
it executes appears fairly trivial. Should the REPOS path variable be
a URL or a file system path?

Re: svn commit - (no author)

Well at least I understand why there is (no author), but when trying
to execute your suggested command I get:
svn: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's
pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svn: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged
I have a feeling my pre-revprop-change hook "is non-existent" since I
have not messed around with any sort of hook yet. Is the
pre-revprop-change hook something that is supposed to already exist
within the default svn installation?
Also,
The link on the link you gave me:
FAQ:
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#no-author
("Networking a Repository"):
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.0/svn-book.html#svn-ch-5-sect-4
does not work anymore. There is no section 4 in Chapter 5 as far as
the html is concerned. It goes from section 3 to section 6. There is
a section 4 in Chapter 6 that walks through the Apache config though.
I don't know if anyone should bother fixing this, but it is a mistake
in the website that wouldn't be hard to correct. I couldn't find it,
but is the website FAQ revisable through the svn repo patch proposal
system? I'm not a hacker or anything, but less work for you guys is
less work for you guys.

It's not dangerous at all. It's a remote propchange on an unversioned
rev-prop:
$ svn propset svn:author "author" --revprop -r N
