RE: Re: Prevent empty commit log message

If you want to log messages to the client, you have to redirect your
output to stderr,

Like this:

echo "The commit message was not supplied or was too short" >&2

Lieven.

Just a thought since it seems you just grabbed the default and renamed

Did you also make sure you either 1) have permission to
commit-access-control.pl, or 2) edit the pre-commit and remove that
line?

Since your only request is to make sure the log is not empty, I'd at
least comment it out (not remove because you may want it someday), and
then give it a whirl.

I commented out that line with "commit-access-control.pl". It works.
When I commit with a log message, the new revision is committed. But
when I commit with an empty log message, it gives:

Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):

svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output:

How can I modify the script so that it prompts the cause of the error to
the user?

SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook

$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | \

   grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" > /dev/null || exit 1

I am not good a shell script. Has anyone modified any?

TIA
