We are using a (very old) commit-email.pl script to send out email notifications from a post-commit
hook on our Linux server running Subversion 1.7.5. Lately I’ve noticed some emails that
contain lots of “unprintable” characters. Here is a snippet from a recent commit:
If it?\226?\128?\153s nil, I set to false.
This is happening mostly from Mac clients. Running “svn log” from the command line on
Linux and Windows shows the check-in comment correctly, but not from a Mac client ironically.
This leads me to believe that the log is stored correctly on the server but that the commit-email.pl
is script is not properly sending it out. I assume this is an issue with not properly encoding
TF. So my questions are:
1. Where can I find the latest version of the commit-email.pl script and does it fix this
issue?
2. If not, what is the current recommended script to use to send email notifications from
a post-commit hook?
Thanks,
Alfred
