Common Types of Subversion Hooks

Question

What kinds of hook scripts are people using for Subversion? Just general ideas but code would be great too!

Answer 1

Windows pre-commit hook to check that log contains something.

@ECHO OFF
setlocal

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:: Get subversion arguments
set repos=%~1
set txn=%2

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:: Set some variables
set svnlookparam="%repos%" -t %txn%

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:: Make sure that the new svn:log message contains some text.
set bIsEmpty=true
for /f "tokens=* usebackq" %%g in (`svnlook log %svnlookparam%`) do (
   set bIsEmpty=false
)
if '%bIsEmpty%'=='true' goto ERROR_EMPTY

echo Allowed. >&2

goto :END


:ERROR_EMPTY
echo Empty log messages are not allowed. >&2
goto ERROR_EXIT

:ERROR_EXIT
:: You may require to remove the /b below if your hook is called directly by subversion
exit /b 1

:END
endlocal
