+# PRE-COMMIT HOOK
+#
+# The pre-commit hook is invoked before a Subversion txn is
+# committed.  Subversion runs this hook by invoking a program
+# (script, executable, binary, etc.) named 'pre-commit' (for which
+# this file is a template), with the following ordered arguments:
+#
+#   [1] REPOS-PATH   (the path to this repository)
+#   [2] TXN-NAME     (the name of the txn about to be committed)
+#
+# The default working directory for the invocation is undefined, so
+# the program should set one explicitly if it cares.
+#
+# If the hook program exits with success, the txn is committed; but
+# if it exits with failure (non-zero), the txn is aborted, no commit
+# takes place, and STDERR is returned to the client.   The hook
+# program can use the 'svnlook' utility to help it examine the txn.
+#
+# On a Unix system, the normal procedure is to have 'pre-commit'
+# invoke other programs to do the real work, though it may do the
+# work itself too.
+#
+#   ***  NOTE: THE HOOK PROGRAM MUST NOT MODIFY THE TXN, EXCEPT  ***
+#   ***  FOR REVISION PROPERTIES (like svn:log or svn:author).   ***
+#
+#   This is why we recommend using the read-only 'svnlook' utility.
+#   In the future, Subversion may enforce the rule that pre-commit
+#   hooks should not modify the versioned data in txns, or else come
+#   up with a mechanism to make it safe to do so (by informing the
+#   committing client of the changes).  However, right now neither
+#   mechanism is implemented, so hook writers just have to be careful.
+#
+# Note that 'pre-commit' must be executable by the user(s) who will
+# invoke it (typically the user httpd runs as), and that user must
+# have filesystem-level permission to access the repository.
+#
+# On a Windows system, you should name the hook program
+# 'pre-commit.bat' or 'pre-commit.exe',
+# but the basic idea is the same.
+#
+# Here is an example hook script, for a Unix /bin/sh interpreter:
+
+REPOS="$1"
+TXN="$2"
+
+# Make sure that the log message contains some text.
+SVNLOOK=/usr/local/bin/svnlook
+$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | \
+   grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" > /dev/null || exit 1
+
+# Check that the author of this commit has the rights to perform
+# the commit on the files and directories being modified.
+commit-access-control.pl "$REPOS" "$TXN" commit-access-control.cfg || exit 1
+
+# All checks passed, so allow the commit.
+exit 0
