We are using a (very old) commit-email.pl script to send out email
notifications from a post-commit hook on our Linux server running Subversion
1.7.5. Lately I’ve noticed some emails that contain lots of “unprintable”
characters. Here is a snippet from a recent commit:
If it?\226?\128?\153s nil, I set to false.
This is happening mostly from Mac clients. Running “svn log” from the command
line on Linux and Windows shows the check-in comment correctly, but not from a
Mac client ironically. This leads me to believe that the log is stored
correctly on the server but that the commit-email.pl is script is not properly
sending it out. I assume this is an issue with not properly encoding TF. So
my questions are:
1. Where can I find the latest version of the commit-email.pl script and
does it fix this issue?
2. If not, what is the current recommended script to use to send email
notifications from a post-commit hook?
Thanks,
Alfred
