Pre-fill SVN commit message with guideline

I woul开发者_如何学JAVAd like to show guidelines to commiter independently of the subversion client used.

Do you know how to do that?

I don't think what you're asking is possible. Suppose I do

svn ci somefile -m "my commit message"

from the command line. You could certainly install a hook on your SVN server to detect and reject commits with messages that don't conform to your standard, but actually pre-filling the commit message for arbitrary clients won't work, because the commit message can be supplied before the client ever contacts the server.

If I'm understanding you right, you want clients that prompt the user for a commit message to prefill the text area/file with a custom message. If so, subversion doesn't support that through any kind of repository configuration
