Dear Colleagues,

i have the problem that i want change/add a comment on an already
checked in artefact in a svn repository.
Is there a way to add afterwards a comment ?

regards

Are you talking about a comment within the file, or a commit comment?
If it's the former, then no, you can't go back and modify an already
checked in revision. If it's the latter, then yes, you can change the
log message, as that's an unversioned property.

See:. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch05.html#svn-ch-5-sect-1.2

Thank you, larry,

but when i try to change the comment, svn give the answer that i am
not allowed to do it and that i have to make a "pre-revprop-change".
But that is not working until now.

regards

Thank you, Larry,

i saw this. But since i have to integrate something on a windows
server, i was hoping, there is already a pre-revprop-change batch.
I search for it (or i try to write one)

regards

and thank you for your help !
