Re: pre commit trigger

The Transaction number is a way of identifying the list of files that
are affected by the transaction. Think of it as a parallel to the
revision number. If I specify a particular revision:

    $ svnlook log -r1234 repository/path

This will list all the files that were commited in revision #1234 of
Subversion. Similar to this command:

    $ svn log -r1234 file://repository/path

If I specify the transaction number, it will give me the log of the
POSSIBLE revision that I am about to commit:

    TXN=$2
    svnlook -t $TXN repository/path

Now, I'll get the list of files that are in the subversion commit
transaction I'm parsing.

By the way, I already have a Perl trigger that does this very thing.
It actually is a bit more flexible in that you can ban any file names
you want. For example, on Windows machines, you can't have a file
named con.* or prn.* or any combination where con or prn are followed
by a number. In mixed Unix/Windows, you want to make sure your Unix
people aren't creating a file called con2.java which the Windows
people can't check out.

The trigger also handles commit access on files, and protects your
tags directory by allowing people to add tags, but not to change the
files under the tags directory. As an added bonus, it also checks
files to see if required attributes have been placed upon them.

You can get the trigger from <http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/433257/hooks.zip>.
