All, I'm looking for a clean way to use the command line client and have the ability to specify a commit template when adding a comment on checkin:
BUG_ID: xxxxx BUG_DESC: xxxxx CHANGE_DESC: xxxxx or somesuch, prefilled in my editor of choice. I know about the SVN_EDITOR workaround (setting SVN_EDITOR in such a way that a template is made), but that is a horrid horrid hack and doesn't work across the board on different subversion revlevels. So - is there a better fix for this? I'd much rather upgrade my svn clients to support this than be forced to have multiple workarounds for what is - after all not that great a hack. Ideally, I'd like to be able to set a centralized policy on the server side to force a certain convention, but I can see how that might not be well supported by svn's design. Perhaps a config file - on checkout - could force this. Anyways, any info on this let me know.. Ed
