A workaround is to make use of the SVN_EDITOR env var. This
would of course require client-side configuration (at this point
providing a custom built svn with your log message hardcoded is
also an option).
Here is an SVN_EDITOR script for Unix-like environments that
might work for you:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Example SVN_EDITOR script
#
[ $# -eq 1 ] || {
echo "usage: $0 file"
exit 1
}
file=$1
ed=$VISUAL
[ -z $ed ] && ed=$EDITOR
[ -z $ed ] && ed=vi
cat <<ENDTEMPLATE >$file.$$
BugId:
Approved-By:
ENDTEMPLATE
cat $file >> $file.$$
sum=`cksum $file.$$`
if $ed $file.$$; then
newsum=`cksum $file.$$`
if [ "$newsum" != "$sum" ]; then
rm -f $file
mv $file.$$ $file
else
# no changes
rm -f $file.$$
fi
else
echo "editor \"$ed\" failed"
exit 1
fi
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You could then check the format of log messages in the
pre-commit hook, and if they are wrong the stderr can instruct
them how to properly configure their client, e.g.:
------ in pre-commit ------------------------------------------------
# Make sure they used the template
if $SVNLOOK dirs-changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep /project-foo/; then
$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep "^BugId:" > /dev/null || {
echo "*** Please configure your client to use the log message template" >&2
echo "*** Instructions are here: http://foo" >&2
exit 1
}
fi
