Re: pre-commit hook for project version.

SubWCRev can not help.
If you take a look at the beginning of this thread you'll see that any kind
of "client side" solution is not good for me,
One reason is multiple development environments for the same project.
Another reason is that due to the nature of the final product the developers
find them self occasionally programming in a virtual machines, fixing some
bugs and then commit from theer. so setting up a sane build script is not an
option. not at all.
I really want the server to do the work, either by committing without
bumping the revision or by direct file access to the pseudo "version.h"
file.
Generally , any sever side solution that does not commit would help.

I'm thinking of a solution. I'll share it with you if I get to something
usable.
