Need to search for specific email addresses within all files in SVN [message #647490]

I am using Eclipse 3.5.2 and have Subversion installed on it. I also have access to the SVN repository as well. I am trying to setup SVN so that everytime a user checks in a file, we check for specific email addresses and prevent the commit from happening.

I setup a pre-commit hook on the server itself but now what happens is that the commit is prevented but even if I correct the email addresses, the commit still fails. I was using svnlook -diff.

Is there a better way of doing this? I have been reading through all the different svn commands and think that this should be easy to do. What am i missing? The goal is to prevent check in of files that have invalid email addresses.

Thanks.

Hi,
a pre commit hook is the right apporach.

Try some

svnlook cat -t TXN | grep blabla

or something like this. Please do not mix up start-commit and pre commit.
