Question

I would like to automatically copy the committed files from svn repository to a certain folder with the same name.

For example, I have svn repository /svn/project1 and after commit it should put all files to /www/project1.

I have a simple post-commit hook script but can’t understand how to get a part of necessary directory (project1):

#!/bin/sh
PROJECTNAME=                    # how get it?
rm -rf /www/$PROJECTNAME
mkdir /www/$PROJECTNAME
/usr/bin/svn export --force file:///svn/$PROJECTNAME/trunk /www/$PROJECTNAME

You can use Bash parameter expansion:

PROJECTNAME=${PWD##*/}

To get the parent directory requires two steps:

PROJECTNAME=${PWD%/*}
PROJECTNAME=${PROJECTNAME##*/}
