Accepting / rejecting commits based on text embedded in the file
Hi,
Is it possible for SVN to check whether a file that is being added or modified contains a certain
string (such as a copyright statement, license, or VIM modlines) and based on that to either
accept or reject the commit?
Im working on an Free/Open Source project for which it is imperative that the license statement
remain intact, and I would like to use such an enforcement feature if it is available in SVN.
Thanks for your help,
Mark

I believe so, yes -- using a precommit hook script.
