I want to ran the following script on text files that are being committed:
# Send the commands H and w to ed # ed will append newline if the file does not end in one printf '%s\n' H w | ed -s $1 # Strip trailing whitespace sed -i 's/[ \t]*$//g' $1 # Convert tabs to 4 spaces sed -i -r 's/\t/ /g' $1 I see subversion has a start-commit and pre-commit hooks but I can’t follow the documentation about how I could process the text files with the above script.
You mean change the text file before it’s committed? You can (I’m not sure how), but it’s generally not a good idea, as it doesn’t tell the client about the change, so the local copies become void on a commit.
What I would do is block the commit (non zero exit), and give an error message as to why you don’t want that revision to go through.
