Re: inheriting enviroment variables by hooks

Hi Johan,
I didn't know about that setting thanks for the pointer.
However It looks like it's a way to set an alternative path to the hooks-env file. Which is global per repository. What we're trying to solve is to have a dynamic env that would inherit some variables per request. e.g IP address of client who is doing svn commit. There are bunch of stuff we'd like to pass along.
Cheers

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but as of 1.8 there
is the mod_dav_svn directive SVNHooksEnv.

The svn book [1] contains the following description:
"Specifies the location of the Subversion repository hook script
environment configuration file. This file is used to describe the
initial environment in which repository hook scripts are executed. For
more on this feature, see the section called 'Hook script environment
configuration'." [2]
