pre-commit hook script, don't believe there is any properties you can set to make any branches (which is essentially what a tag is) read-only in svn. Something like the following should work depending if your svn repository is hosted on a linux system. $SVNLOOK changed -t $2 $1 | grep "/tags/" && /bin/echo "Cannot commit to tags" 1>&2 && exit 1 You'll have to adjust the path to match the location in your tree amd also add an exception to allow some user to create the tag in the first place. -- Regards, Darragh Bailey
