The usual Subversion solution for this is to either a) write a pre-commit hook that verifies that the code conforms to the style guidelines, and rejects the commit if it does not; or b) write a post-commit hook that converts code to the required style and commits this in a second revision > 2) Automatic doxygen comments generation. Here too the usual Subversion solution is to have a post-commit hook generate this and then commit it. Another common answer is that things that can be generated should not be stored in the repository. > 3) Add information in the code in the workspace, from tags included in the > repository I don't understand... could you give an example?
