Subversion Tip of the Week

Editing Log Messages

At some point, you may wish to add, delete, or alter the information contained within the log messages from previous revisions. This is made easy with TortoiseSVN.

Tip: The ability to edit log messages is disabled by default. To enable it, modify the pre-revprop-change hook, which can be found in the “hooks” folder of your repository.

1) To get started, select the ‘Show log’ option from the TortoiseSVN menu.

2) In the ‘Log messages’ dialog, right-click on the desired revision and select ‘Edit log message.’

3) You can now edit the revision’s log message. Once you are happy with the changes, click ‘Ok’ to save them.
