For those of you who are curious here is the script I came up with (windows
version):
@echo off
set FILE=%1
echo Active Issues: > %FILE%.tmp
echo Resolved Issues: >> %FILE%.tmp
echo Description (what changed and why): >> %FILE%.tmp
type %FILE% >> %FILE%.tmp
move %FILE%.tmp %FILE%
%SVN_REAL_EDITOR% %FILE%
So you set a couple of environmental variables:
SVN_EDITOR to the path to the name of the batch file.
SVN_REAL_EDITOR to the name of whatever your real EDITOR should be.
*boom* You've just converted a show stopper (was for us anyway) into a mere
support and CM headache. :-)
*wonders what he would have to bribe Karl with to get him to put 1973 on the
roadmap*
