Subversion commit message validator pre-commit hook

May 31, 2005

Jacques Marneweck has posted a subversion pre-commit hook that will reject any commit attempt with a commit message less than 10 characters long.

This is handy if you have developers that like to leave blank commit messages.

For those who run Subversion under Windows, there's a customizable pre-commit validator tool, which validates files being commited: SvnPreCommitValidator (SvnPCV). It's written in .NET 2 C# and is open source. Available from http://wiki.webgear.co.nz/SvnPCV.ashx
