#!/bin/sh # START-COMMIT HOOK # # The start-commit hook is invoked before a Subversion txn is created # in the process of doing a commit. Subversion runs this hook # by invoking a program (script, executable, binary, etc.) named # 'start-commit' (for which this file is a template) # with the following ordered arguments: # # [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository) # [2] USER (the authenticated user attempting to commit) # # 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 commit continues; but # if it exits with failure (non-zero), the commit is stopped before # a Subversion txn is created, and STDERR is returned to the client. # # On a Unix system, the normal procedure is to have 'start-commit' # invoke other programs to do the real work, though it may do the # work itself too. # # Note that 'start-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 # 'start-commit.bat' or 'start-commit.exe', # but the basic idea is the same. # # Here is an example hook script, for a Unix /bin/sh interpreter: REPOS="$1" USER="$2" commit-allower.pl --repository "$REPOS" --user "$USER" || exit 1 special-auth-check.py --user "$USER" --auth-level 3 || exit 1 # All checks passed, so allow the commit. exit 0
