Is it possible to get the commit message on a Pre-commit hook?

[Wesley Keeling]

I'd like to receive the commit message to update a text file with it, just wondering if the entry point passes it as a parameter or how I could get it.

I still need to know if this is a possibility

Client-side hook in TSVN or a server side hook?

For client-side hooks, TSVN calls the script with the following parameters:

PATH DEPTH MESSAGEFILE CWD

which means the third parameter is a path to a file where the commit message is stored.

Really quick question about that, how exactly do I get the message if I have not committed yet? I need to set a file for my own changes when it's committed. 

Thanks for the Reply!

You get the message when your script runs. If you configured is as a pre-commit hook then it's run before the commit.

I'm sorry I'm still a little confused, "You get the Message when your script runs" I'm referring to the actual "Commit message" -The actual version change log that a user enters to describe the committed files (Log Message). 

I want to take what the user puts into the change log and copy it and put it to a external file so they can view it without looking at the Log files of the SVN repo. 

Are we talking about the same thing?

You said you set up a hook script. That script is called with the parameters mentioned in the docs.

The MESSAGEFILE parameter is a path to a file, and that file contains the commit message.
