We are trying to replicate the ShadowFolders feature of VSS, whereby each checked-in file that needs it gets mirrored to a reference directory.
To do this, I wrote the following script, which works well except for the actual file copy - svn copy complains about the target folder not being a directory, although it most certainly is. My questions are a) what is wrong with my use of svn copy, and b) is there perhaps a better way to achieve the ShadowFolder feature? You'll note that my solution allows every file to have a specific shadow folder (by virtue of the associated property), so that they aren't all collected into a single box. It also skips any files without the property set so that only those files which need to be shadowed are copied (a necessity since only a fraction of the files being checked in to SVN need this mirroring). I've tried looking online for an existing script, but it doesn't seem like any have been made available yet. Thanks in advance for all suggestions you may have. Here's the scripts (and the associated log): Post-commit.bat: call %~dp0post-commit-run.bat %* >> %1/hooks/post-commit.log 2>&1 Post-commit-run.bat: @echo off rem Under Windows, SVN passes in the repository argument as drive:\path\to\repository, which SVN rem EXPORT treats as a working file -- to access the repository itself requires the use of the rem server URL (so that the request is sent using http). The easiest solution is to simply define rem that URL here and use it in the SVN calls. rem rem+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ rem Note this means the EnvVar needs to be updated each time the script is moved to a new hooks folder!! rem+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ set REPURL=https://iss01sb299/svn/icbc rem Keep track of the SVN components being worked with set REPOSITORY=%1 set REVISION=%2 rem Get current date and time, formatting for readability for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date/t') do set CURRDT=%%j-%%k-%%l for /F "tokens=1-9 delims=:.
