Displaying a checklist before commit/comments in SVN

Question

Currently we use TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN as our source control. I have altered the pre-commit hook successfully to block unwanted files etc being committed to the repository. But what I want to achieve now is a check-list that will act as aide memoir before committing.

Is this possible? If so what is required to be done I can't see how it will work with the pre-commit hook as I would want the check-list displayed when they hit commit on the context menu to bring up all the changed files and the log message?

Answer 1

Yip TortoiseSVN Client hooks were the way to go

I grabbed the StartCommit.js file from the SVN repository and then tailored it to output what I wanted.

Then I simply created a hook calling WScript \\StartCommit.js

Have you seen this pre-commit hook example ? Some variant of it was used in a shop I used to work at and prevented a lot of common mistakes.
