Hello svn pepz,
I've recently tried to set up hooks for my server, in
particular a
post-commit hook. It took me days to find out that I had to
rename
post-commit.tmpl to post-commit in the hooks/ directory. I
read the
complete text in the post-commit.tmpl file (though I have to
forgive
that I did not exactl read everything in the book), which
suggested that
THAT file was executed and not a post-commit file. Nothing
in the
post-commit.tmpl file suggested that I had to rename
anything and, apart
from only one single sentence in the svnbook, the same went
for the book.
Of course, this is not just your fault, I just had to think
a little
deeper and realize that a template is not something actually
being used.
Though, it would sure be nice to clarify the complete hooks
section. An
example set of files, for example a very basic email or log
script, with
the files post-commit and logger (the sh script) given,
would be nice. I
personally know how to use chmod, but it would be handy for
a lot of
users to explain that they should run chmod a+x myscript.
Thanks,
Auke Booij.
