I want my team inputting at least x # of chars into a commit

  • 0

I want my team inputting at least x # of chars into a commit comment in Tortoise. Is there a hook to do this? I guess I need to use a property called tsvn:logminsize but I don’t get how to add that property globally for ALL repositories so that anyone on the team is required to input x chars when checking in any code for any project.

    You can add it to the precommit hook in SVN (Tortoise is just a GUI client for SVN, so will have to do it in your SVN server itself).

    1. Under your repository directory, you will find hooks/pre-commit.tmpl.
    2. Edit this file and save it as pre-commit and make it an executable
    3. Check for the comment length inside the file and return a non zero value if it does not have atleast x# characters.

    Note that the precommit file can be in any language (python, shell script etc).
