Hi Mike,
This commit broke several things:
1. The dead transaction will remain if start commit fails for any
reason, while it should not.
2. The docstring promises that *TXN_P unaffected in case of hook
failure, while it changes it. We rely on documented behavior in
open_root at libsvn_repos/commit.c:401
3. Docstring for svn_repos_fs_begin_txn_for_commit2() explicitly
states that start-commit hook run *before* transaction created:
[[[
* Before a txn is created, the repository's start-commit hooks are
* run; if any of them fail, no txn is created, @a *txn_p is unaffected,
* and #SVN_ERR_REPOS_HOOK_FAILURE is returned.
]]]
I doubt that our policy allow to change such API promise. Anyway this
code is already released, so we have to deal with this somehow.
I'm working on patch to solve (1) and (2), see attached file.
Btw I wonder why you decided to change existing hook behavior, instead
of create separate hook like 'post-start-commit' or 'validate-txn' to
give opportunity to validate client capabilities early as possible.
