Help with checkin hook

[James Green <Ja...@occam-dm.com>]

Hi All,
 
I'm just looking at SubVersion for the first time as we wish to migrate
from Visual SourceSafe to SVN.  I have my server all setup, tested and
working.  So far everything has been great.
 
The only problem I'm having is trying to find information on some
functionality we get in VSS that we'd like to carry over to SVN.  I have
looked through Google and the online book with no luck so far (maybe I
missed something however!).
 
Currently at the top of our C# source files we can place a template
like:
 
#region Version Control
/*
*********************************************************************
$Header: $
*********************************************************************
$History: $
*********************************************************************
Last Revision $Modtime:  $$Revision: $
*********************************************************************
*/
#endregion
 
And then upon a checkin of a file it will populate the variables with
the relevant information into the source file.  Does anyone have any
info on such a hook cmd/exe file that we could use in the hooks
directory of our repositories?
 
Also is there any way of configuring how SVN creates new repositories so
that it will auto copy any custom hooks into any new repositories?
 
Thanks,

You should not modify the contents of a commit via hook. By doing so,
the committer's working copy is immediately rendered out of date. This
has been rehashed a lot on this mailing list.

Last Revision date/time/revision number is already available via
keywords. See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html

"History" will not be made available as an SVN keyword ever, most
likely. See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#log-in-source

Write yourself a little script that creates the repository, then
copies the hooks from a "template" instead of manually running
svnadmin create.
