Hi,
To test your script you can do the following.
1) remove every thing from the script.
2) put a single line --> exit 0
3) Using CLI commit a file.
If the above works then you can be confident svn is calling your
pre-commit hook and succeeding.
If the above does not work then we can be sure that there is an issue
calling your pre-commit hook.
The reason I include exit 0 is because svn expects a zero from the
pre-commit hook to determine whether to abort or proceed with a commit.
If a command in a script fails then the return code is non zero. I know
the argument that if the command succeeds then the return value is zero
therefore we do not need to explicitly code for exit 0. I personally
find it a good practise and the script becomes more readable.
3) include echo "This is a test" 1>&2
4) exit 0
5) Using CLI commit a file.
this should echo the output to your CLI.
Thanks
Lakshman

No, that's not possible. svn user is svn, /tmp/svn-test.log belongs to
svn user but it also has 666 permissions and anybody can read and write
there. I don't believe it's a permission issue, I wish I had a way to
find out how I can debug it, I installed svn with debugging but it
doesn't give me anything even when I run it in foreground.
