Is not allowed to commit file with extension .tag

Question

I wanna to commit to Subversion a file with extension .tag (it is a tag description for jsp), but I get:

Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output: "Commits prohibited in to tags!".

SVN error code is E165001. 

Could anyone help?

Answer 1

A pre-commit hook is something that is manually / specially added by the administrator of an svn repository to add desired functionality. In this case, they have specifically blocked the type of commit you are trying to do. Speak with your administrator / read information for the repository you are using etc...

Answer 2

Ask your system administrator to fix the pre-commit hook script that is set on the repository. It seems that the hook script is too simple and rejects anything that has tag in its name.
