Hey everybody! I've been mailed privately concerning the log in one of my recent commits to our repo (r21682), so I guess I was successful at catching people's eyes ;-) I do know about svn pre and post commit hooks, but I'm not that well versed in the matter, I'm just learning as I go along. So I'd like to ask everyone for some help since we seem to have some pretty experienced users here. Mark suggested publishing an officially recommended .subversion/config file (most likely to our wiki), whereas Rolf spoke about a pre-commit hook. I believe we should use both options to both ensure we get everything we need in any given commit (.subversion/config file) and that we constantly remind our committers of our requirements if for any reason they happen to make an improper commit from a location without an appropriate conf file (pre-commit hook): the latter should check if all the properties we ask for are met for Portfiles and patchfiles upon commit, though we'd have to discuss how to properly recognize every single way to possibly name a patchfile; we could also toss in there checks for mime types and execute bits, if appropriate. Please discuss and make your recommendations, and if anyone is willing to do the writing, great! I can coordinate with kvv getting the pre-commit hook installed where we need it. Thanks to all for your help! Regards,... -jmpp
