I'd like to automate TortoiseSVN as part of a commit process. Specifically I'd like to dynamically create a log entry for the commit dialog.
I know that I can launch the commit dialog either from the commandline or by right clicking on a folder and selecting svncommit.
I'd like to use the start commit hook to setup a log entry. I thought this worked by passing an entry file name in the MESSAGEFILE variable but when I add a hook script it cannot see this variable (hook launched successfully after right clicking and choosing svncommit).
When I try using the commandline I use the /logmsgfile parameter but it seems to have no effect.
I'm using tortoisesvn 1.5.3.
