Subversion post-commit hook

Question

I am trying to get SVN to copy files to my htdocs folder on commit. Here is what I have so far in my post-commit.bat:

"C:\subversion\bin\svn.exe" update "C:\apache\apache2.2\htdocs"

When I look at the log files created by the hook I get the following line:

Skipped 'C:\Apache\Apache2.2\htdocs'

Does anyone know why this is happening?

No matter what directory I choose as a destination, I get the same error.

I am running SVN 1.6.4, Tortoise 1.6.8, Apache 2.2, WinXP SP3

I am not using username and password because there is no security set up on the SVN repository. It's just me developing.

Thanks

Answer 1

I see this with a folder that isn't a working copy:

C:\Temp>md blah

C:\Temp>svn up blah
Skipped 'blah'

C:\Temp>

Are you sure there's a working copy at C:\apache\apache2.2\htdocs? You first need to checkout into that folder before you can update into it.
Can you do this:

cd C:\apache\apache2.2\htdocs
svn up

If this doesn't work for you, it certainly won't for the server.

Answer 2

Try use checkout option (you must add link to repository too)
