Are Remote commit hooks in subversion possible?

Question

my current setup is as follows:

• We have a Linux samba share that contains all the repository folders (with the hooks folder inside, amongst the others)
• All the developers have the share mapped as a network drive, and import to a local directory (normally C:\Server\RepositoryName) where they work on their files.
• All the machines accessing the drive (unfortunately) run windows.

What I'm aiming to do is to have a hook on the Linux server that detects when a commit has been made, by which project, the revision number, the name of the developer who committed, etc. I looked into the hooks files, but they seem to be ran by the client. Is there a way to monitor svn changes and collect the relevant information from the Linux server?

Answer 1

All the hooks are executed by svnserve. Check your hook scripts, svnserve configuration and http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#hook-debugging
