#!/bin/sh # PRE-REVPROP-CHANGE HOOK # # The pre-revprop-change hook is invoked before a revision property # is modified. Subversion runs this hook by invoking a program # (script, executable, binary, etc.) named 'pre-revprop-change' (for which # this file is a template), with the following ordered arguments: # # [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository) # [2] REVISION (the revision being tweaked) # [3] USER (the username of the person tweaking the property) # [4] PROPNAME (the property being set on the revision) # # [STDIN] PROPVAL ** the property value is passed via STDIN. # # If the hook program exits with success, the propchange happens; but # if it exits with failure (non-zero), the propchange doesn't happen. # The hook program can use the 'svnlook' utility to examine the # existing value of the revision property. # # WARNING: unlike other hooks, this hook MUST exist for revision # properties to be changed. If the hook does not exist, Subversion # will behave as if the hook were present, but failed. The reason # for this is that revision properties are UNVERSIONED, meaning that # a successful propchange is destructive; the old value is gone # forever. We recommend the hook back up the old value somewhere. # # On a Unix system, the normal procedure is to have 'pre-revprop-change' # invoke other programs to do the real work, though it may do the # work itself too. # # Note that 'pre-revprop-change' 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-revprop-change.bat' or 'pre-revprop-change.exe', # but the basic idea is the same. # # Here is an example hook script, for a Unix /bin/sh interpreter: REPOS="$1" REV="$2" USER="$3" PROPNAME="$4" if [ "$PROPNAME" = "svn:log" ]; then exit 0; fi exit 1
