I was searching for a little script able to email my collaborators and myself when someone commits something to my SVN repositories.

There seem to be a popular perl script commit-email.pl. But I had several errors when implementing it. This is why I decided to make one. Because it's useful and easy to configure, I'll share my entire script here.

Download commit-email.php

As you can see, there is a little configuration section.

<?php
 
// CONFIGURATION
$svnlook = '/usr/bin/svnlook';
$globaladdress = 'someone+logs@gmail.com';
$repoaddress = array(
  'repoAAA' => 'user1@aaa.com, user2@aaa.com',
  'repoBBB' => 'user1@b.com, user2@b.com',
);
$from = 'svn-noreply@svn-hosting.lol';
$replyto = 'admin@svn-hosting.lol';
//

Nothing fancy here. $svnlook is the path where the svnlook command can be run. $globaladdress is a email address where all commit will be notified. $repoaddress is a field for specific repositories to add email addresses. $from and $replyto are what they are.

It's following the svn postcommit hook. My SVN repos are located in /home/svn. You can create a hook in /home/svn/repoX/hooks/post-commit containing:

#!/bin/sh
 
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
 
/usr/bin/php /home/svn/commit-email.php "$REPOS"

Don't forget to place my script in /home/svn and to install php5-cli.
