Re: How to make the "tags" folder immutable?

Thanks Andy & Geoff.

We have a single repository which has multiple projects.
every project has "tags" folders.

so we can not mention statically the full path of the "tags" folder
in the configuration file as the number of projects are varying.

Any hook script that search for a pattern matching for the name "tags"
and prevent for write would be fine.

As tags folders are growing, we can not use this idea.

Found a solution for linux, here.

The book "Subversion Version Control" by William Nagel downloaded from
www.informit.com/content/images/0131855182/downloads/Nagel_book.pdf

talks this issue on
11.2.6 Make Tags Immutable

We need the same hook script for windows.

Thanks.
