You say the hooks can do alot of things to the SVN DB.. now, I wanted to find a way to have a svn_revision (aka cvs_date) file written to a file... i though of the $revision$ keyword (see SVN::keywords) but that will only tell about the last revision in which a specific file was modified... it would be better if we could have 'last revision in which any file was modified), and have
cat > svn_revision <<EOF
$global_revision$
EOF
and let svn take care of it...
maybe a hook could be used, pre-commit, that would make the svn_revision file look 'modified' to svn, and the $revision$ would then work.. or it could simply put the new revision number in it, so we get the svn_revision file modified WITH each commit, not being a separate commit (so no extra revision incrementation done) It would be nice to ask people who know more about revisions and hooks, and I'm sure SF wouldn't mind as long as we provide this hook, and that it's "safe" for their repository (which it should be).

Message from Youness :
Please, don't commit the file cvs_date any more.

I'm going to search how to have roughly the same feature with svn.

As I mentioned in a previous email, I have already looked up to see how we could do it. The email needs to be sent using a 'hook script', however the 'hook scripts' are very powerful and give too much power over the database than sf would like. Therefore they are only allowing certain scripts which
they will install (if you want 1 they dont have then you have to submit a
'feature request').

The script which they use for sending commit emails is called SVN::Notify. I looked at the options for this script and it does have the capabilities of only sending emails for files that match a regular expression (exactly what
we want), the option is the '--to-regex-map' option. However sf does not
give access to this option when installing that script. Someone needs to
submit a feature request to ask sf to enable this option. If no one else
does I will submit the request when I get a chance.

PS Sf reason for not enabling that option was, quote: "For simplicity, we
only support one user-provided option to this script, the email address to
send the notification to."
