And I hate to spoil the party but you really mean "comment" not "log message". That message should make sense. Logs are not comments. It's important for those error messages to make sense to everyone on the team. Nobody will know what the heck you're talking about when you say log message. Thank you.

I have SVN running on a Windows XP machine. I restarted SVN after adding the script to the pre-commit.tmpl in the {hooks} directory.Any ideas?? Thanks, John Anuj,

If someone wants to break this script, they can by entering blank spaces, whats important is the developer training. @Senthil, I totally agree to that.

However developer training is the more essential part of the equation. Establish a good commenting standard & guideline and make sure they follow it. The script can then be enhanced to validate the standard (such as Defect id, defect type, etc) Great script. However developer training is the more essential part of the equation.
