Linux in a Nutshell, 6th Edition

Name

setlog

Synopsis

svnadmin setlog repos_path -r revision file

Set the log message on revision revision to the contents of file.

This is similar to using svn propset --revprop to set the svn:log property on a revision, except that you can also use the option --bypass-hooks to avoid running any pre- or post-commit hooks, which is useful if the modification of revision properties has not been enabled in the pre-revprop-change hook.

Warning

Revision properties are not under version control, so this command permanently overwrites the previous log message.

Options

--bypass-hooks

--revision rev, -r rev

Example

Set the log message for revision 19 to the contents of the file msg:

$ svnadmin setlog /usr/local/svn/repos/ -r 19 msg
