Re: Is it possible to set svn:keywords using pre-commit hook script?

But isn't there a way I can set the svn:keywords by running a script
whenever I do a add or probably before a commit. Controlling this from a
client side is painful. Hence, I would like to write script which will run
svn propset svn:keywords <filenames>. But I am not sure whether it is
feasible.

Please let me know your thoughts

Thanks
Vinay
