post-commit hooks for signalling PostGIS SVN commits to trac

[strk]

They'd be needed to allow for automatic cross-referencing of commits from tickets and ticket updates, see ​https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/3330

I see MetaCRS requested this 7 years ago (#279) so I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just enable SVN->trac communication for all projects at once

The GIT equivalent of this ticket is currently on the trac/git sandbox instance: ​https://trac.osgeo.org/gittest/ticket/2

Maybe I don't get the question but the following is there:

neteler@tracsvn:~$ grep commit-email.pl /var/www/svn/repos/postgis/hooks/post-commit
/var/www/svn/hookscripts/commit-email.pl "$REPOS" "$REV" --from svn_postgis@osgeo.org postgis-commits@postgis.refractions.net &

(likewise for many other OSGeo projects on that server)

Markus, I think a trac signaling hook is also needed for the "ticket updater", like:

trac-admin /var/www/trac/postgis changeset added "$REPOS" "$REV"

At least, I had to add that from my local tests with a git repo, and I confirm an SVN commit log in PostGIS was unable to update the referenced ticket even if the related trac feature is activated, probably due to the lack of this trac signaling.

btw, the comit-email.pl hook is probably to be reviewed, see #352:comment10

Done, see ​https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/3330#comment:4
