Re: Help with Hook Script: Can't lookup file property on the commit transaction

Another wasted day!

There was no problem with my hook script after all, or Subversion.

The problem laid with my control-file. The lines that were causing me
problems were:

prop: ^trunk/weintraub/hooks: snv:eol-style = "^LF$"
prop: ^trunk/weintraub/hooks: snv:keywords = "Id"

Of course, "snv:eol-style" should read "svn:eol-style" and
"snv:keywords" should be "svn:keywords". Yes, I had the "v" and "n"
mixed up in the control file, and that was causing the whole problem.

Six hours of debugging this stuff just to find out that there were no
errors. No wonder I gave up programming for SCM work.
