Can't modify changeset in PreReceiveRepositoryHook

[Valerie Wagner]

I am attempting to modify the author field of our Subversion commits. (We want to change it to user's display name + username in the real svn database, not just in SCM Manager's web UI.)

I am trying to set the author name to "XYZ" in all cases for a test. I am doing commits as the "scmadmin" user. I have been unable to have any effect on the actual value of the changeset author field. (Both using command-line svn log and the SCMM web UI, the author is still set to "scmadmin".)

@Extension
public class SVNUsernamePreCommitHook extends PreReceiveRepositoryHook {

    @Override
    public void onEvent(RepositoryHookEvent event) {

        Collection<Changeset> changesets = event.getChangesets();
        for (Changeset changeset : changesets) {
            Person p = changeset.getAuthor();
            p.setName("XYZ");
        }
    }
   

Does this mean that the RepositoryHookEvent object is only informative? that it has no effect on the actual repository data?

thanks in advance!

Hi,

Yes, this true. RepositoryHooks of SCM-Manager 1.x are only informative. We will try to change this in version 2.x.

Thanks, Sebasian. I was able to get what I needed by going directly to svnkit using FSHooks.registerHook().
