For a long time I've known the rule "don't modify a transaction in a pre-commit hook", documented in (1) and recently repeated in (2).
I was therefore surprised to read about the "svnadmin setrevprop" command (3) in 1.9, and to see an example of modifying transaction properties in the hook-scripts: "persist-ephemeral-txnprops.py" (4). Are there some conditions under which it's okay to modify the transaction, or are there only specific use-cases when this should be done? Thanks, - Ryan (1) http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.reposadmin.create.html#svn.reposadmin.create.hooks (2) http://markmail.org/message/kmxxbk4nrvmpc66r (3) https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html#svnadmin-revprop (4) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/persist-ephemeral-txnprops.py?view=markup
