RE: Commit hooks malfunctioning... Bug?!

Apology accepted :o)

Any remarks to the following overlooked email?

[snip]
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.

Ah, I missed that part, sorry.
