Hook scripts tutorials?

hookscriptingtortoisesvn

I've been trying to find some tutorials on writing hook scripts, and so far my search has been pretty fruitless. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good source? I've checked the SVN book, but can't find anything that detailed in there (although I may simply not have looked in the right place).
any help is appreciated. BTW: I simply want to make a client side hook that exports data on commit.

SVN hook scripts are server-side, not client side. svn runs the hook script on the server where the repository is stored.

luckily, if you are using tortoisesvn, it has some support for client-side hooks. i haven't used it, but here is a link that i found: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-hooks

Meant by the term “hook” in programming

Essentially it's a place in code that allows you to tap in to a module to either provide different behavior or to react when something happens.

Git – Applying a git post-commit hook to all current and future repos

As of git 1.7.1, you can set init.templatedir in your gitconfig to tell git where to look for templates.

Set it like this:

git config --global init.templatedir '~/.git_template'

Afterward, new repositories you create or clone will use this directory for templates. Place the hooks you want in ~/.git_template/hooks. Existing repositories can be reinitialized with the proper templates by running git init in the same directory .git is in.

For git versions older than 1.7.1, running git init --template ~/.git_template will work if you're like me and still want to manage your .git_template dir along with the rest of your dot files. You can also use the $GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment to tell git init where your template directory is.
