Don't execute SVN "post commit hook" when a specific file is committed

Question

Is there any way to not to run "post commit hook" or skip "post commit hook statement" when a specific file is committed?

Answer 1

You can use a test in your post-commit script. The svnlook changed repository_directory will show which files changed - can use grep or similar.

For example:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/svnlook changed /svn/repo | grep -w ' yourfile$' && exit 0

# here begin the main part of your (original) hook
