Re: Committing host as revision property

I like this idea.

As a work around, how about this.

I see this string in the apache logs (see log excerpt below).
Is this the transaction ID?
If so, then during the pre-commit we can match the transaction ID in the apache
log and pull out the client hostname/ipnumber.

Assuming we're using Apache with dav_svn, apache receives HTTP request like these:
-
10.0.0.1 - jsmith [06/May/2007:04:24:03 -0500] "MKACTIVITY
/svn/MyRepos/!svn/act/97c826d2-565b-344b-abac-b3242553bd93 HTTP/1.1" 201 326 "-"
"SVN/1.3.1 (r19032) neon/0.25.5"

10.0.0.1 - jsmith [06/May/2007:04:24:24 -0500] "PUT
/svn/MyRepos/!svn/wrk/97c826d2-565b-344b-abac-b3242553bd93/trunk/file1.txt
HTTP/1.1" 204 - "-" "SVN/1.3.1 (r19032) neon/0.25.5"

10.0.0.1 - jsmith [06/May/2007:04:24:39 -0500] "DELETE
/svn/MyRepos/!svn/act/97c826d2-565b-344b-abac-b3242553bd93 HTTP/1.1" 204 - "-"
"SVN/1.3.1 (r19032) neon/0.25.5"
