How to require commit messages in VisualSVN server?

Question

We\'ve got VisualSVN Server set up as our Subversion server on Windows, and we use Ankhsvn + TortoiseSVN as clients on our workstations.

How can you configure the se

Answer 1

Prior to adding commit hooks to my server, I just distributed svnprops to the TortoiseSVN clients.

So, as an alternative:

In TortoiseSVN -> Properties property name - add/set tsvn:logminsize appropriately.

This of course is no guarantee on the server as clients/users can opt not to do it, but you can distribute svnprops files if you like. This way, users don't have to set their own values - you can provide them to all users.

This also works for things like bugtraq: settings to link issue tracking stuff in the logs.
