RE: MSWord file in svn - change properties on commit

This is less of an implementation issue than a concept issue.

The Subversion book warns against modifying a transaction in a hook:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05s02.html#svn-ch-5-sect-2.1

So it doesn't really matter if you're modifying document properties in Word
or re-formatting source code or just trying to change a property - it can't
be done in a commit hook.

The standing advice is to check for the things you would change in the hook
and reject the commit if they aren't set properly.

Regards

Subject: MSWord file in svn - change properties on commit

Hello Everybody !

I'm trying to find out is there any way to update MS Word documents '
properties (date, revision, log, author) on commit in SVN ?
Documents can be stored as RTF or DOC...

I've started thinking about using win32com (python module) to get access
to MS Word files. But - according to ym knowledge - it can be made only
on Windows, so on the client side...
Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Thanks for help in advance,
Szymon.
