### About SVN and flexible hookers ###


Subversion is not only a very powerful version control system, it is also an
extremely flexible one. The flexibility is achieved through so-called 'hooks'
(did I say "hookers"? Oops!) that are called by svnserve either before or
after a commit. These hooks can not only perform a variety of scriptable
actions, but they can also accept or reject a commit and return a legible
error message to the end user.

In this article, I list some of the most useful hooks I implemented on my svn
server during the years.
