Subversion Hooks

[jz...@marketlinksolutions.com]

I have a linux server running subversion.
 
I have mounted a folder to my windows webserver as the apache user.
I added the following line to the post-commit file under the hooks directory
and granted it execute permissions
/usr/bin/svn update /mnt/iisdev//wwwroot/
post-commit is also owned by root.
 
from my workstation i update my source and it isn't automatically copied
over to the mnt dir.
if i run the post-commit manually it works just fine and updates the folder.
 
why is subversion not able to update the mnt automatically?
 
Secondly is there a way instead off just running svn update to run svn
update on the specific files being worked on in the repository.  If only 5
files are being worked on i would rather that only those 5 files be updated
instead of checking the entire repository for the updates.
 
Thanks

Have you tried having the www folder on a local disk, just to see if
your problem is how you're mounting the remote disk?

I also don't know much about your setup, but try what's at
<http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#website-auto-update> as well.

Run 'svnlook changed /path/to/repos --revision $rev'.  The output is
what files were changed and what those changes were.  It is relatively
easy to parse into a list of filenames that were updated, to which you
can run 'svn update /working/copy/path/$file1
/working/copy/path/$file2 ...'.
