NAME

       svn-mailer - A feature rich subversion commit notification tool

SYNOPSIS

       svn-mailer --propchange -d repos -r rev -a author -n propname
	   [-o action] [-f config]

       svn-mailer --unlock -d repos -a author [-f config]

DESCRIPTION

       The  svnmailer  package	is a tool to post notifications of subversion events to various targets in different ways.  Currently implemented:
       Mail via SMTP or a sendmail pipe, news via NNTP, XML via XMLRPC to a CIA tracker (see http://cia.navi.cx/ for details).

       The svn-mailer command line script is typically invoked via subversion's hook mechanism, but you can run it manually as well.  This is use-
       ful  to	resend	missing  messages or for debugging purposes.  Remember to start it under the correct user/group id.  Otherwise it may have
       problems to open the repository or the config file.

       The svnmailer can be used in most cases as a drop-in replacement for mailer.py distributed with subversion.  There are some subtle  differ-
       ences which are dedicated to more behavior consistency.	(Hopefully) all of them are stated in the HTML documentation.

   GENERAL OPTIONS
       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show a help message and exit

   COMMON PARAMETERS
       --debug
	      Run in debug mode (means basically that all messages are sent to STDOUT)

       -dREPOSITORY, --repository=REPOSITORY
	      The repository directory

       -fCONFIG, --config=CONFIG
	      The configuration file

       -ePATH_ENCODING, --path-encoding=PATH_ENCODING
	      Specifies the character encoding to be used for filenames. By default the encoding is tried to be determined automatically depending
	      on the locale.

   BEHAVIOR OPTIONS
       The behavior options are mutually exclusive, i.e. the last one wins.

       -c, --commit
	      This is a regular commit of versioned data (post-commit hook). This is default.

       -p, --propchange
	      This is a modification of unversioned properties (post-revprop-change hook)

       -l, --lock
	      (svn 1.2 and later) This is a locking call (post-lock hook). The locked file names are read from STDIN.

       -u, --unlock
	      (svn 1.2 and later) This is a unlocking call (post-unlock hook). The unlocked file names are read from STDIN.

   SUPPLEMENTAL PARAMETERS
       -rREVISION, --revision=REVISION
	      The modified/committed revision number

       -aAUTHOR, --author=AUTHOR
	      The author of the modification

       -nPROPNAME, --propname=PROPNAME
	      The name of the modified property

       -oACTION, --action=ACTION
	      (svn 1.2 and later) The property change action. If specified, the old property value is read from STDIN.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       If the configuration file is not specified on the command line it is searched at default locations. The first  one  found  is  loaded.  The
       locations  are, in order: mailer.conf in the conf/ directory of the given repository, mailer.conf in the script directory itself, /etc/svn-
       mailer.conf.

OLD STYLE COMMAND LINE

       Alternatively you can use the old style compatibility command lines (options described above don't apply then):

       svn-mailer commit repos rev [config]

       svn-mailer propchange repos rev author propname [config]

       With svn 1.2 and later:
       svn-mailer propchange2 repos rev author propname action [config]

       svn-mailer lock repos author [config]

       svn-mailer unlock repos author [config]
