Svn – how to edit log message for a committed change

By admin on Jan 10, 2016

Command to edit a committed revision

Example command for revision r4448

$ svn propedit svn:log --revprop -r r4448

hook setup for allowing editing log message

In case you get the following error:

"svn-prop.tmp" 1L, 15C written                                                                                                  
svn: E175002: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svn: E175002: Repository has not been enabled to accept revision propchanges;
ask the administrator to create a pre-revprop-change hook

Go to you repository hooks directory and follow these steps:

$cd /repo_root_dir/hooks/
$ sudo cp pre-revprop-change.tmpl pre-revprop-change
$ sudo chmod a+x pre-revprop-change

Now when you run svn propedit svn:log it should work.
