SVN::Notify + Windows + Commit emails by directory path
Hello All, I am trying to set up SVN::Notify on a windows 2003 box running collabnet subversion 1.5 and activestate perl. I have it working to fire off messages to a single person no problem. I know svnnotify.bat lets you use email/regex maps to accomplish the direction of emails to different people based upon directory paths. How does one manage a large, multiproject repository with dozens of different team members working on one or more projects without some enormous one line monstrosity of a svnnotify command in the subversion post-commit hook batch file that ends up hitting the command length wall of the windows command prompt and is an unreadable nightmare to even consider maintaining? Is there some way of feeding svnnotify a text file of all the parameters instead of one giant command line? None of the documentation mentions that the windows command line is limited to 2047 characters. I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction. Thanks, Steve
