One of my earlier posts about forcing SVN comments talks about doing a pre-commit hook on SVN before every commit is made. The problem with that is, it needs to be done on the SVN server and not always you’ve got access to that. But as a developer you can force yourself to always comment before committing, as well. This one is particulary to do with TortoiseSVN as thats what I currently use at work. More »

If you are using Subversion, you might have come across this issue. Multiple developers working on a set of files and committing them without any comments. If you decide to force comments on every commit, here is a little pre-commit hook script that will do the job. Just to be clear, a pre-commit script is fired when the user hits the ‘OK’ button on the commit dialog box.

This script would need to be under /{repository-location}/hooks/. There are some template scripts already in there and this one is probably a slight modification of one of those samples in there. More »

I just read on Jim Priest’s blog about this SVN related free book and I think its a great book. Being a regular SVN user for almost all my work, I think this book can be very useful for me or anyone else who uses SVN. Thanks Jim.
