Hook when we do svn add

Question

I have written a pre-commit hook to restrict a user to add any directory to the existing repository without managers approval.

As the pre-commit hook works only at the time of commit, I wanted to know whether we can check the file type and show the alert when the user does svn add.

Hope I am clear.

Answer 1

This is not possible with standard tools. Maybe with an own/patched SVN client.

Some clients/integrations provide client side hooks like TortoiseSVN.

Maybe svn:ignore can help you in some cases. But it's not almighty...
