Synopsis
pre-commit

Description
The pre-commit hook is run just before a commit transaction is promoted to a new revision. Typically, this hook is used to protect against commits that are disallowed due to content or location (e.g., your site might require that all commits to a certain branch include a ticket number from the bug tracker, or that the incoming log message is nonempty).
If the pre-commit hook program
returns a nonzero exit value, the commit is aborted, the
commit transaction is removed, and anything printed to
stderr is marshalled back to the client.
Input parameter(s)
The command-line arguments passed to the hook program, in order, are:
Repository path
Commit transaction name
Additionally, Subversion passes any lock tokens provided
by the committing client to the hook script via standard
input. When present, these are formatted as a single line
containing the string LOCK-TOKENS:,
followed by additional lines—one per lock
token—which contain the lock token information. Each
lock token information line consists of the URI-escaped
repository filesystem path associated with the lock,
followed by the pipe (|) separator
character, and finally the lock token string.
