I'm confused ... why would you need a special pre-commit hook for something like that? I would expect access control to be good enough. Just make the tags tree in the repository read-only for most users. (N.B., having actually immutable tags would be a nice feature, but they're not required to solve your problem.) -- Brane -- Branko Čibej Director of Subversion | WANdisco | www.wandisco.com
