Subversion Repository Hook : check-mime-type

Description:

This Pre-Commit hook can be used to implement the checks that every added file has the svn:mime-type property set and every added file with a mime-type matching text/* also has svn:eol-style set. If any file fails this test the user is sent a verbose error message suggesting solutions and the commit is aborted.

Installation:

These instructions assume that you are using the subversion command line interface on a Unix system. Your process may be slightly different depending on client and operating system.

  • Check out your /rice-config repository folder
svn co https://svn.rice.edu/r/REPONAME/rice_config
  • Change to the rice_config folder
cd rice_config/
  • Create a folder called hooks if it doesn't exist already
mkdir hooks/
  • Change into the hooks folder
cd hooks/
  • Create a file called check-mime-type
touch check-mime-type
  • Add the directory and file to the repository
cd ../../
svn add hooks
svn commit -m "Added check-mime-type hook to the repository"

Configuration

No configuration is required for this hook. Merely adding the empty file will enable the hook.
