Re: svn commit - (no author)

Well at least I understand why there is (no author), but when trying
to execute your suggested command I get:

svn: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's
pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svn: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged

I have a feeling my pre-revprop-change hook "is non-existent" since I
have not messed around with any sort of hook yet. Is the
pre-revprop-change hook something that is supposed to already exist
within the default svn installation?

Also,

The link on the link you gave me:

FAQ:
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#no-author

("Networking a Repository"):
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.0/svn-book.html#svn-ch-5-sect-4

does not work anymore. There is no section 4 in Chapter 5 as far as
the html is concerned. It goes from section 3 to section 6. There is
a section 4 in Chapter 6 that walks through the Apache config though.

I don't know if anyone should bother fixing this, but it is a mistake
in the website that wouldn't be hard to correct. I couldn't find it,
but is the website FAQ revisable through the svn repo patch proposal
system? I'm not a hacker or anything, but less work for you guys is
less work for you guys.
