RE: Make developers write messages when commiting

Here's a unix pre-commit hook that does the job. It checks if the user has
entered at least 10 alphanumeric characters. I doesn't prevent the user from
entering "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" of course.

---SNIP---
#!/bin/sh
REPOS="$1"
TXN="$2"
SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook

# check that logmessage contains at least 10 alphanumeric characters
LOGMSG=`$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" | wc -c`
if [ "$LOGMSG" -lt 10 ];
then
  echo -e "\nLeere Log-Meldung ist nicht zulaessig. Uebertragung
abgebrochen!\nEmpty log message not allowed. Commit aborted!" 1>&2
  exit 1
fi
---SNIP---
