NAME

SVN::Notify::Filter::Watchers - Subscribe to SVN::Notify commits with a Subversion property.

VERSION

Version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

Use svnnotify in post-commit:

svnnotify --p "$1" --r "$2" --to you@example.com --handler HTML \
--filter Watchers

Use the class in a custom script:

use SVN::Notify;

my $notifier = SVN::Notify->new(
    repos_path => $path,
    revision   => $rev,
    to         => 'you@example.com',
    handler    => 'HTML::ColorDiff',
    filters    => [ 'Watchers' ],
);
$notifier->prepare;
$notifier->execute;

DESCRIPTION

This SVN::Notify::Filter will allow you to add additional recipients to an email by checking a Subversion property (default of svnx:watchers, and can be overridden with watcher_property (or --watcher-property option for svnnotify). The value of the watcher property is a new line and/or space separated list of email addresses.

This filter will walk up the path to root for each path entry that has changed and add recipients if the watcher property has been set. This way you can in effect set the property on /trunk and get ALL commits that happen below /trunk. When an path has been deleted it will check the previous revision for the watcher property. You can also set skip_walking_up (--skip-walking-up) to stop this behavior.

By default the filter will then walk down the path of a deleted path and check for recipients to add. This behavior can be changed by adding setting skip_deleted_paths (or --skip-deleted-paths).

Since this is just a filter, there are certain behaviors we can't control, such as not requiring at least on --to address. Unless you have some addresses that should get all commits, regardless of the watcher property, you may want to set the --to to some address that goes to /dev/null or does not bounce. However, if you set trim_original_to (--trim-original-to), it will remove the --to addresses before it finds all the watcher properties.
