The current version of commit-email.pl is here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/commit-email.pl.in As it says at the top: # This script is deprecated. The Subversion developers recommend # using mailer.py for post-commit and post-revprop change # notifications. If you wish to improve or add features to a # post-commit notification script, please do that work on mailer.py. # See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/mailer .
