[Haifux] SVN quota

[Maxim Kovgan]

hi Shahar!
A possible solution if your svn repository is stored on a filesystem could be
a "pre-commit hook" script, that would basically:
 * check user's/project's repository quota against filesystem
 * act accordingly to the result, upon:
   * OK - do commit
   * Warning (quota threshold reached) - print the result, and commit
   * Quota exceeded - print the result and NOT commit
Of course take care of the return values of the script properly.
The script may even send an email to the user, if you have email in NIS.

I do not know how different SVN clients would respond to the
non-standard messages in the output of SVN client.
This is what you will have to check for yourself.

Regards,
M.
