I am using svnserve. However, according to "man svnserve" I am using it not as a daemon but with svn+ssh so I have to specify the global file explicitly somehow. But I can add that common path in each repo’s hook-env, that’s clear. > The environment specified in the referenced file will then apply I think that only applies to the daemon as I read the docs. > to all repositories.

But if it is true for svn+ssh, does one just drop a svnserv.conf file in directory /etc/subversion.? > Could you please point us at the docs you were reading which were > unclear? Maybe they need to be adjusted or updated. Thanks. I’ll send doc suggestions after I get a working solution (PRs accepted?). Thanks, Stefan. Best regards, -Tom

For svnserve, you can specify a path in svnserve's config file: [general] hooks-env = /path/to/a/global/hooks-env/file The environment specified in the referenced file will then apply to all repositories. The referenced file's syntax is shown in the hook.env example you've alreay found. For mod_dav_svn there is a similar configuration directive called SVNHooksEnv which also points to a file. Could you please point us at the docs you were reading which were unclear? Maybe they need to be adjusted or updated. Thanks.

Hook script common environment variables
The docs mention one can use a common hook environment for multiple repos but so far I can’t find an example of that or any more details. I have looked at the example hook.env file but I don’t see any reference to global env vars. I know I can have each hook script, say as a bash script, source a global file but surely there is a more elegant way to set global variables used by hook scripts. Thanks for any help.
