Re: How to prevent empty log messages?

Here is a snippet from my pre-commit hook batch file that doesn't
require Python.

   svnlook log %1 -t %2 | findstr /I [a-z0-9]"
   if %errorlevel% lss 1 goto commit_ok

Don't expect svnlook to be on the path, you'll have to set that up
yourself.

The findstr executable is part of Windows so there shouldn't be any
problem ...
Of course, there are many versions of grep that work fine on Windows as
well...

I took a look at the server side pre-commit.tmpl, and it is using grep.
I'm running this on a windows server, will this work? I'm not going to
bother trying it until I can be sure. Thanks.
