Getting File sizes in Commit Hook

[David Simpson <hd...@gmail.com>]

Can I get the size of the files from within the Commit hook?  I want
to stop large files from being accidentally committed to the
repository.

Thanks
David

I hope the attached script can help you.
My way of calculating files size is not really efficient, but I guess
it's better than noting...

Unfortunately, 'svnlook' doesn't retrieve this information in
convenient form.  Your best bet is to write a program using the
language bindings (i.e., in Python, Perl, or Java).  A non-elegant
workaround would be to use 'svnlook cat' to put the file's contents
into a tmp file outside the repository, then examine the tmp file's
size.
