Question

I would like to create post-commit hook in tortoiseSVN. I want to copy (sync) files (or whole application) to another location. My problem is that I have a web application, and we develop it on local pcs (localhost server) but when somebody commit something new to online repository I want to copy those data (or maybe whole application) to dev subdomain folder.

Answer 1

1. You can’t use your local TSVN postcommit-hook on server events – it must be or server-hook, or every developer must have and use own copy of hook
2. What is target? Local path, remote FTP|SSH?
3. Can hook be scripted on Python|Perl?
4. Why you don’t use pre-made CI|Deploy tools?

Dirty draft:

• Read svn help export, export full WC every-time for client-side hook, сopy as you can
• Examine Tortoise SVN / Subversion push updates to Windows 2008 Server topic, I’m too lazy to repeat
