Subversion pre-revprop-change hook

Another small batch file hook for those running subversion on windows. This hook will allow users to update a log message on the old check-in.

Note: Property changes are not versioned, so you will permanently loose the old message.

Place this in a pre-revprop-change.cmd
-------------
IF %5 EQU M GOTO CONT1
GOTO FAIL
:CONT1
IF %4 EQU svn:log GOTO OK
:FAIL
echo "Changing revision properties other than svn:log is prohibited" >&2
exit 1
:OK
exit 0
------------

    Thanks soooooo much! Although one comment sticks to multiple files committed in one version, this was great to allow me to generalize the comment. (I'm a stickler on checkin comments)

    Thanks for preserving my sanity! :)

    ------------
    rem Only allow log messages to be changed.
    if "%4" == "svn:log" exit 0
    echo Property '%4' cannot be changed >&2
    exit 1

    this one works too.
    make this .bat file and put your repository.

    if you need to change "user" just make
    "svn:log" to "svn:author"
