Is there a way to automatically push svn configuration settins from the server to the clients?

Is there a way to force the client to update its local svn configuration using a hook?

I have lin and win clients and I'd like to push down a standard set of ignores and auto props. Today, I provide a config files and ask the users to install them (.reg file for win and conf file for linux). I'd like to flush them down to the clients automagically.

Is there a way to do this? (I think not, but I had to ask because it would be nicer)

+1 A:

there is no build-in solution in subversion. However, you can write a pre-commithook script to examine the properties of your files.

There is already such a script in a project called mr-ats on mr-ats.tigris.org

http://guest:@mr-ats.tigris.org/svn/mr-ats/trunk/src/hooks/property-check/

However I did't used it yet.

I don't think what you want is possible. However, see whether this script helps.

Thanks, you all are basically in the same vein. I thought of using a hook script but was concerned that it would merely be a major annoyance. I had also considered a nag after the fact script.either:commit with wrong propssvn blocks commit with instructions on how to fixorcommit with wrong propssvn allowssvn sends email with instructions to fix

You can push registry settings to Windows users logged on a Domain via Group Policy. You can also set a config file in the 'all users' location (E.g. /etc, /usr/local/etc or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Tigris\Subversion).
