Re: [Subclipse-users] Subclipse not working when post-commit hook was used

Thanks Jack for replying to my questions. I should also have mentioned
that, I performed the same tests (with same repository) on a Linux box using
svn commands in commandline env, everything (commit, post-commit, email
notification, ...) worked like a charm. So, I am guessing the problem I
experienced must be of Eclipse and/or Subclipse things. I am working on it
to see if I can figure out something.
