I've written a Perl post-commit hook that emails out via SMTP. I was getting the following error when I try to do a commit:
Sending subversion/README Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MERGE of '/mfxcm/trunk/subversion': 200 OK (http://source) The commit actually had worked, but the revision of my working copy wasn't updated until I did a "svn up": $ svn commit -m"Finding what's causing commit errors. I think it's the post-commit script" Sending subversion/README Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MERGE of '/mfxcm/trunk/subversion': 200 OK (http://source) david@DaveBook.local:~/workspace/svn-cm-trunk/subversion $ svn up G README Updated to revision 94. I've played around with my post-commit script, and everything is find until I do: my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new( Host => $self->SmtpHost, Debug => $main::debugLevel, Then, I get the MERGE error again. If I take out the SMTP portion of the script, everything works just fine. If I put in starting SMTP, it fails. I know the script actually works because I print out the command to execute my post-commit hook, and I can run it from the command line without any problems. It only gets that MERGE error if run as a post-commit hook. What exactly does that MERGE error mean, and why do I get it when Subversion runs the post-commit hook vs. when I run the same thing from the command line? -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
