RE: Commit hooks malfunctioning... Bug???

Thanks Simon for your help; actually, it is accessed locally (file:///).

The "bug?" may just be my misunderstanding; here it is, in the form of a
question for the Subversion Dev Team to give a crack at it:

Q: Is it possible for a HOOK (start/pre/post-commit) to access WC
Add/Delete commands (via "svn add" and "svn delete")?

Bkgnd: From this thread conversation with Simon Martel, it appears that
a HOOK *cannot* modify the working copy from which it was instantiated.
Running hook scripts *outside* of a WC "svn commit" command is not a
problem; but based on the WC's "commit" it seems to not execute
ADD/DELETE commands. "svn up" works fine from within a hook script,
though.

In the end, it may not be a "bug" but a limitation of architecture. If
so, then I will just schedule the hook script as a cron-job on the
machine.

Thanks.

How are you accessing your repository? Via apache [http(s)://]?
svnserve [svn://]? locally [file:///]?

If you are accessing your repository via apache, you have to know that
the hook scripts are executed by the user runing apache (probably a
system account), and not by your local user. And that user probably
doesn't have the required permission to do a svn update on your working
copy (because it is owned by your local user).

Hope it's clearer this time...

Have a good day
