Share common / useful SVN pre-commit hooks [closed]

Answer 1

I'd enjoy a hook that checks for [Reviewer: xyz] note in the commit message, and rejects the commit.

Answer 2

I use the check-mime-type.pl pre-commit hook to check that MIME Type and End of line options are set on committed files. I use subversion to publish files to be visible on a website using DAV, and all files without the MIME Type set get served as text files (e.g. HTML source gets displayed in a browser instead of the rendered markup).

Answer 3

Checking for absolute paths in various text files (i.e. VRML, XML etc). Most of the checked-in code should never have absolute paths, yet some people and tools insist on producing hard-coded stuff.

Answer 4

I'm thinking about writing one to check doctype's on aspx / html files, just to make sure everyone is using the correct one.

Also, you can have a pre (or post) commit hook push a notification out to your CI server as described on the Hudson Blog

Answer 5

I check for case collision (stupid windows) and also require-mergeinfo.pl to ensure that the client is at least 1.5 - that way svn:mergeinfo will always be set

Answer 6

That a user has actually entered a comment on the commit message, and that it contains a particular issue number to track.
