[TYPO3-dev] SVN pre-commit hooks to avoid commiting php files with syntax errors

[Fabrizio Branca]

Hi there,

today I played around with subversion's pre-commit hook. Checking php 
syntax errors with php lint (which uses php's original parser) can be 
used to avoid php files with syntax errors to be committed. Your client 
will show a detailed custom error message why this submit was not accepted.

I tried this on my subversion server and it worked fine. Of course this 
is only "poor man's continuous integration server", but still extremely 
useful.

As I got some feedback, that this should/could go into forge I'd to post 
this here. I think this would be a great idea!

It's quite easy. I used the hook from here

And here are some hints how to install it:

What do you think? Good Idea? Sebastian, you're "Mr. Forge", aren't you? 
:) Could you do this?

Bye,

Fabrizio
