RE: Re: Revision log entry - making them mandatory

I feel like my reply was misunderstood.

Lasse, I understood what you meant and I was joking. I kinda hoped that the smiley at the end made it clear. I apologise for any offence caused (I sound too bl00dy English now LOL)

Subject: Re: Revision log entry - making them mandatory

What I meant by my remark was stereotyping, not that 9-5 programmers does any less quality code than anyone else.

But, the truth remains, you trust your programmers enough to check in their code without having a tool that analyses their code for quality, so the best you should strive for is to avoid forgetting to type in a commit log message. If you need to provide any kind of rules to what a good log message is, provide a template. Trying to detect a programmer comitting "aaaaaaaaaa" could probably easily be done, but what makes "aaaaaaaaa" any worse than "Ha ha, I'm not going to enter a log message".

Trust your developers. If you can't, hire better ones.

The tsvn:logminsize is a property you set on your working copy, the commit.
Every user doing an update from the repository will have that setting
from that time on.
