Is there a special format of a transaction number?
I would like to write a method in perl that gets a number,
either transaction or revision, and then adds the correct --revision or
--transaction parameter (for the svnlook command). So if there is a special
format for a transaction number I can use a regular expression to check it.
The difference between a transaction and revision number depends purely
on context. AFAIK, the only time a transaction number is available is within a
pre-commit hook - once the transaction has been committed, it's a revision
number.
What context would your script be run in?
Cheers,

The class will be used by both the pre- and post-commit hooks, hence the need
to distinguish between transaction or revision. And I would like to do it by
just looking at the transaction/revision number.
I think transactions are in the format of 9999999-9 (where 9 is any single
number) while revisions are in the format 99999. If that's true, then I can
check for the dash and I'm done. Can anyone confirm it to me?
