controling commit behavior to tags path

[Wesley Leggette <wl...@cleversafe.com>]

Hello,

I have the following standard structure in my repository:

repos1/
   branches/
   tags/
   trunk/

In another repository (repos2), I use svn:externals to reference a 
specific tag of repos1. My concern is that I don't want people to 
accidentally commit changes to the tag referenced by the externals 
definition.

I've written a pre-commit hook to prevent changes to paths below 
tags/<dir>, where <dir> is a specific tag. The hook still allows 
deletion, addition, and copying from tags.

Any comments? Suggestions for improvements? Anybody see anything else 
that does this?
