svnlook changed /full/path/to/repos | grep ^C

Does the above or something like it work?  Of course this only works on
the server itself, clients cannot run these commands.  But since you are
talking in a hook script sense....

You should look for more examples of other peoples hook scripts.  Mostly
the pre-commit hook scripts.  I know there are some posted in the
archives of this list if you dig for them.

No worries.  I looked at the code for svnlook and it looks like it'd be
simple to copy the code for the "changed" subcommand and make a new
"copied" subcommand that listed new entries created as copies of others. 
I wonder if this is something that would be useful to others?  It
certainly would be to me.  I think I'll try it and submit a patch.

Hi Paul,

My mistake, I should have taken a look at the output from `svn help
status` and seen that 'C' is a conflict state.  
This is such a grave error I need to be embarrassed on list as well so
people don't actually waste time trying this.

I guess you can only enforce the fact that no modifications can be made
in a tag since there is no designation between a copy and an add AFAIK.

Sorry,
Chris
