Let us assume a repository with the following structure:
- /hooks/
- script.bat (this is a hook script containing `exit 0`)
- /branch/ (this is a branch of `/trunk`)
- file.txt
- /branches/
- /test/ (this is a branch of `/trunk` too)
- file.txt
- /trunk/
- file.txt
The working copy (WC) is checked out at D:\TEST\wc, but we have a sparse
checkout
<https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-checkout.html#tsvn-dug-checkout-depth>
so it looks like this:
- \hooks\
- script.bat
- \trunk\
- file.txt
Then set a property to the root: tsvn:startcommithook = start_commit_hook
%REPOROOT%/hooks/script.bat true show.
Now do the following in the WC:
- Commit a change to \trunk\file.txt; the hook approve/reject dialog
shows the path D:\TEST\wc\hooks\script.bat and the script runs as
expected upon approval.
- Switch the local path \trunk to the directory \branch in the
repository.
- Commit a change to the switched \trunk\file.txt; the hook dialog again
shows the path D:\TEST\wc\hooks\script.bat and the script runs normally.
- Switch the local path \trunk to the directory \branches\test in the
repository.
- Commit a change to the switched \trunk\file.txt; the hook dialog now
shows the path D:\TEST\hooks\script.bat (note the *missing wc*), the
script *does not run* and an error message appears: The hook script
returned an error. The system cannot find the file specified. (the
message is a bit misleading, because the script does actually not run, so
it cannot return an error, also because its content is only exit 0).
So apparently, different depths in the repository directory hierarchy
levels of normal (/trunk) and switched paths (/branches/test) seem to
derogate proper expansion of the placeholder %REPOROOT%.
The behaviour does not change when applying the tsvn:startcommithook
property recursively.
When I change %REPOROOT% to %REPOROOT+% and commit something to the not
switched local path \trunk, not even the approve/reject dialog appears,
which lets me suspect that the hook script is not running at all.
