RE: Re: Start-commit hook script

Your absolutely right. I should have been smarter as I've had to deal
with this before.

After fixed the above, I see what you mean. I moved the corrected code
into the pre-commit hook and things are working fine.

Thanks for your help.

1. Are you sure the drive letter D: is defined for the user under which
the hook is running? I've heard that for Windows, drive letters are a
per-user thing.

2. You will want to use the pre-commit hook, not the start-commit hook.
By start-commit hook time, the transaction you want to examine has not
yet been created, but by pre-commit hook time, it has.
