Hooks

Hello.

I am attempting to create a hook (pre-commit) that will stop users from committing a specific version of Microsoft Word file.

Specifically looking to block Word version 2007 which happens to have a .docx file extension and force them to commit versions in older versions with a .doc version. This is to ensure that everyone can work with the documents - irrespective of the version they have installed on their desktop.

Subversion version 1.4.4 (r25188) is running on Windows 2003 server - so attempted to put something together with DOS batch files, also tried writing a c# console application - all following the templates as a guide and with partial success, in that I am only obtaining minimal information about the transaction not the file(s) being committed.

Can anyone please help?

Sample code (c#) that I have used follows:

          static int Main(string[] args)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            p.StartInfo.FileName = "svnlook";
            p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            p.StartInfo.Arguments = @" changed -t " + args[1] + @"D:\SubversionRepos\ProjectName";
            p.Start();
            p.WaitForExit();

            string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
            output = output.ToLower();

            System.IO.StreamWriter sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"D:\PreCommit.txt", true, System.Text.Encoding.Default);
            sw.WriteLine(string.Join("|", args));
            sw.WriteLine("output = " + output);
            sw.Close();

            if(output.Contains("docx"))
            {
                return 1;
            }
            return 0;

        }
