RE: Re: using custom hooks

I hate the inefficiency of the
launch-cmd.exe-then-launch-PS.exe-then-your-script.

When I looked into this, I seem to recall it was a limitation of the
portable library svn uses - it does not launch the hook scripts via the
Windows shell, so just adding a file association won't work. At least I
think that was the issue...

In any case, we currently just write our scripts in C# and compile them.
This works pretty well since compilation is trivial and the scripts execute
quickly. Also nice having the full richness of C# at hand (part of that
richness is one reason PowerShell would be attractive over other scripting
technologies)

Hi,

Just like to add that (on windows) if you're implementing a
post-commit hook, if the hook process has the potential to be
time-consuming and you don't want the client left waiting, verify that
the process is being spawned.

A simple way to test this is placing a delay in your script and then
performing a trivial commit; if the client is left waiting based on
your delay, it's not spawning.

Note that I haven't tested this issue on more recent svn releases, but
it was a problem on windows for svn >= v1.3.1, so I ended up writing a
simple program to resolve this (google hookstart)

cheers
