Wiki: Subversion/EmailNotification

1. How to enable email notification of commits

Retrieve commit-email.pl.in from here: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/
Save it as 'commit-email.pl' in /path/to/scripts. Make sure it's executable.
In commit-email.pl, you may need to hard-code the path to svnlook.

In /path/to/repo/hooks

  cp post-commit.tmpl post-commit
  chmod +x post-commit

Modify post-commit to contain

/path/to/scripts/commit-email.pl "$REPOS" "$REV"  me@example.com

Test it with the path to your repository and a revision number:

./post-commit /path/to/repo  5

Examine any errors and fix them.

I had to change the command in post-commit to include a 'from' address, like so:

/path/to/scripts/commit-email.pl "$REPOS" "$REV"  --from me@example.com  me@example.com

Then I decided I wanted the subject line prefixed with 'svn commit:', so this is the final version:

/path/to/scripts/commit-email.pl "$REPOS" "$REV"  --from me@example.com  -s "svn commit:" me@example.com
