hook scripts tutorials?

Question

Hi I've been trying to find some tutorials on writing hook scripts, and so far my search has been pretty fruitless. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good source? I've checked the SVN book, but can't find anything that detailed in there (although I may simply not have looked in the right place). any help is appreciated. BTW: I simply want to make a client side hook that exports data on commit. best SWK

Answer 1

SVN hook scripts are server-side, not client side. svn runs the hook script on the server where the repository is stored.

luckily, if you are using tortoisesvn, it has some support for client-side hooks. i haven't used it, but here is a link that i found: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN%5Fen/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-hooks

Answer 2

After much searching discovered that I can attach a .bat file to the hooks in settings. Not done any batch scripts before, no time like the present!
