In the post-commit hook, you could get the list of files modified in the committed revision and send email if the file appears in this list. In pseudocode: REPOS_PATH="$1" # First parameter passed to post-commit hook by Subversion REV="$2" # Second parameter passed to post-commit hook by Subversion MYFILE=Database/trunk/MP/mysql/create/primexmp-create.sql if output of "svnlook changed -r $REV $REPOS_PATH" contains $MYFILE: send email endif Stefan
