working copy hook

[wuzhouhui <wu...@mails.ucas.ac.cn>]

Could Subversion support working copy hook? Because I want to ensure
new commit won't introduce any building error, e.g. always running
"make html" before "svn commit".

Thanks.

This is not implemented in plain svn (and has serious security issues)
However some IDEs and UI integrations have this. e.g. https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-hooks

There are only server-side hooks.

But you can use branches to solve this problem.
You could commit to a "staging" branch, and have a post-commit hook on the
server which runs a build test on commits to this branch, and then performs
an automatic merge to a "production" branch if the build was successful.
If the build fails, such a server-side hook could avoid merging changes to
the "production" branch until the "staging" branch has been fixed in a
future commit.
