#!/bin/sh # START-COMMIT HOOK # # The start-commit hook is invoked immediately after a Subversion txn is # created and populated with initial revprops in the process of doing a # commit. Subversion runs this hook by invoking a program (script, # executable, binary, etc.) named 'start-commit' (for which this file # is a template) with the following ordered arguments: # # [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository) # [2] USER (the authenticated user attempting to commit) # [3] CAPABILITIES (a colon-separated list of capabilities reported # by the client; see note below) # [4] TXN-NAME (the name of the commit txn just created) # # Note: The CAPABILITIES parameter is new in Subversion 1.5, and 1.5 # clients will typically report at least the "mergeinfo" capability. # If there are other capabilities, then the list is colon-separated, # e.g.: "mergeinfo:some-other-capability" (the order is undefined). # # The list is self-reported by the client. Therefore, you should not # make security assumptions based on the capabilities list, nor should # you assume that clients reliably report every capability they have. # # Note: The TXN-NAME parameter is new in Subversion 1.8. Prior to version # 1.8, the start-commit hook was invoked before the commit txn was even # created, so the ability to inspect the commit txn and its metadata from # within the start-commit hook was not possible. # # If the hook program exits with success, the commit continues; but # if it exits with failure (non-zero), the commit is stopped before # a Subversion txn is created, and STDERR is returned to the client. # # The default working directory for the invocation is undefined, so # the program should set one explicitly if it cares. # # On a Unix system, the normal procedure is to have 'start-commit' # invoke other programs to do the real work, though it may do the # work itself too. # # Note that 'start-commit' must be executable by the user(s) who will # invoke it (typically the user httpd runs as), and that user must # have filesystem-level permission to access the repository. # # On a Windows system, you should name the hook program # 'start-commit.bat' or 'start-commit.exe', # but the basic idea is the same. # # The hook program runs in an empty environment, unless the server is # explicitly configured otherwise. For example, a common problem is for # the PATH environment variable to not be set to its usual value, so # that subprograms fail to launch unless invoked via absolute path. # If you're having unexpected problems with a hook program, the # culprit may be unusual (or missing) environment variables. # # CAUTION: # For security reasons, you MUST always properly quote arguments when # you use them, as those arguments could contain whitespace or other # problematic characters. Additionally, you should delimit the list # of options with "--" before passing the arguments, so malicious # clients cannot bootleg unexpected options to the commands your # script aims to execute. # For similar reasons, you should also add a trailing @ to URLs which # are passed to SVN commands accepting URLs with peg revisions. # # Here is an example hook script, for a Unix /bin/sh interpreter. # For more examples and pre-written hooks, see those in # the Subversion repository at # http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/ and # http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/ REPOS="$1" USER="$2" commit-allower.pl --repository "$REPOS" --user "$USER" || exit 1 special-auth-check.py --user "$USER" --auth-level 3 || exit 1 # All checks passed, so allow the commit. exit 0
