About¶

Svn Pre-Commit Validator tool (SvnPCV) is a configurable file validation utility for Subversion (svn) pre-commit hook. It's a console application written in .NET 2.

Usage¶

1. Download SvnPCV, extract to a folder. I use my repository's hooks folder (c:\svn\repository\hooks)
2. Create a config file. Use SampleConfig.xml included with the tool as a starting point. Look at Configuration section for more info.
3. Create a pre-commit.bat file in your SVN repository's hooks folder. Use the following a command example:
   

   
   cd c:\svn\repository\hooks
   SvnPCV.exe %2 %1 config.xml 
   if errorlevel=0 EXIT 0
   EXIT 1
   

   
   

That's it! Now every time you commit changes to your repository, SvnPCV will be called validating changes.

Configuration¶

Configuration scripts are xml file with the following format:

Config Attributes¶

The contents of the file are passed to the executable via standard input. Executable's standard error is captured to return as error message is validation fails. To use executable's standard output as to capture error message, use the following option:
