Re: SVN hook help

Is there a scripting language such as Perl or Python that you are
comfortable programming in? I would recommend installing one of those
on your system. Or, Ruby... Whatever you're comfortable in
programming. Heck, you can program everything in C or C++. The
language isn't that important, but the standard Windows batch program
language is probably not powerful enough to use for the purposes of
hooks.

Writing a trigger is fairly straight forward. There is already a
"pre-commit" hook script called pre-commit.tmpl that comes with the
Subversion source distribution (and maybe some of the executable
versions too). It contains a lot of information about writing your own
hook script and how you'd call it. Normally, you'll use the "svnlook"
command, and parse its output to look for whatever you want.

There is also a Python hook (and I have a Perl version) that allows
you to define who can check in what types of files. You can use this
hook to specify that you don't want weblogic.jar (or other file types)
checked into your repository.
