That's the beauty of the hook-script facility - you can create scripts in
RPG if you want. For scripts that need to do subversion-ish things, you
either need a language binding to the libs (there seems to be lots of choice
here) or you can make calls to the SVN binaries like svnlook.exe (I'm mostly
a windows guy).
For us Windows folks, ActiveState have a very good, very free perl
implementation. You don't have to be a perl type (I'm not) just close your
eyes, double-click a few times, and then follow the instructions with the
hook-script.
If a windows person for some reason isn't comfortable installing perl on
their server, or if you can't find perl for your platform, you can implement
the case-insensitive script in python, C, or a dos batch file if you are a
masochist. A few reads through the script should give any non-perl
programmer the basic logic. I would then look at other scripts in my
language of choice to help make sense of it all. You'll probably find folks
here very helpful with such an effort.
