I understand the above and downloaded TortoiseSVN 1.4.99.12031 which appears
to have client side hook scripts. However, I'm still having problems
getting a hook to run. I though maybe spaces in the working path might be
causing problems, so I checked out my project to c:\temp and created a hook
script in TortoiseSVN:

Post_commit_hook
Path: C:\temp
Command line: C:\temp\version.bat
Wait: true
Hide: false

Excellent catch. To make sure I was not having any more stupid problems
with paths or anything else, I reduced my batch file in the working
directory to a single line:

Type rtb.mkr > rtb.mkr

This should create a zero length file in whatever directory the bat file is
executed. After the script runs, I should be able to search the disk for
rtb.mkr and discover what was the actual working path. Double-clicking the
bat file does indeed create a rtb.mkr file in the directory containing the
bat file.

I changed one of the source files, and committed the project to TortoiseSVN.
The "changes made" window in the Commit dialog lists the modified file and
it is checked for committing. No DOS window remained on screen after
clicking OK, and a search of the disk found no rtb.mkr file.

The documentation on client-side hook scripts in 1.4.99.12031 has and
example screen print showing a script called
"C:\TortoiseSVN\Hooks\post-commit.bat", and I followed the instructions
exactly on creating a script, but still no joy in Mudville.

Can someone who has gotten client-side hook scripts working comment on what
I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Tom
