The start-commit is probably better than the pre-commit as there is no point allowing the transaction to start. The start-commit gets a username as $2 and the script could use that, but invoking whoami is probably better for the purpose of blocking root. For file:// access whoami and $2 will usually be the same but they could be different if --username is used. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
