Post commit hook on linux.

[Bill Williams <bi...@qcsoftware.com>]

I realize this is probably more a linux thing than subversion, but I'm 
baffled.

I am running svnserve as a daemon on a linux computer.  It is running as 
user "svn".  I accomplished this by making svn the owner of svnserve and 
then doing a "chmod a+s svnserve" so when its executed, svn is who is 
doing it.

Anyway, I have a post-commit hook which is suppose to update a special 
workspace whenever someone commits something.  This works; however, the 
files that are updated have "root" as the owner instead of "svn".  Since 
svn is the user executing the process (I verified this with a ps 
command), I would assume svn would be executing the post-commit hook and 
therefore, any commands within the hook.  I want svn to be the owner of 
these files.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

No, sudo is not being used.  I am calling the svn command directly in 
the post-commit.
The svn command is owned by root but the setuid flag is not set.

Here's an excerpt from the script:

    svn=/usr/local/bin/svn
    look=/usr/local/bin/svnlook
    grep=/bin/grep

    ${look} dirs-changed ${REPOS} -r ${REV} | ${grep}
    "Navigator/trunk/Develop" > /dev/null
    if [ $? = 0 ]; then
      ${svn} update /mnt/Disc/Develop -q > /dev/null
    fi

    ${look} dirs-changed ${REPOS} -r ${REV} | ${grep}
    "Navigator/trunk/Products" > /dev/null
    if [ $? = 0 ]; then
      ${svn} update /mnt/Disc/Products -q > /dev/null
    fi

Are your commit hook using the sudo command?
This will set the owner ow files created to root.
Also some tool you call might have a owner of root, and have the  
setuid flag set.
