Here is a short mémo on how setting up an automatic emailing when a user commits files on a svn repository
Assuming you use a Ubuntu/Debian-based OS.

1. First step : make sure you have a functionnal SVN-repository on the machine
2. 2nd step : we’ll need libsvn-notify-perl package :sudo apt-get install libsvn-notify-perl
3. You may now have the svnnotify binary in /usr/bin/ or something like this. try whereis svnnotify if you don’t know where it is
4. go to you repository’s directory:cd /home/myname/svn/project1/
5. create a file named post-commit in ./hooks/ and make it executable by www-datatouch ./hooks/post-commit && chown www-data:www-data ./hooks/post-commit && sudo chmod u+x ./hooks/post-commit
6. Now edit post-commit file and write the following :#!/bin/sh
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
/usr/bin/svnnotify -r "$REV" -C -d -H Alternative \
--alt HTML::ColorDiff -p "$REPOS" -t "to@domain.tld" \
--from 'from @ domain.tld ' \

   just replace to@domain.tld and from@domain.tld by your correct email adresses (advising that to@domain.tld may be a mailing-list that mail all the people that work on the project)
7. Additionnaly, you can add this : --reply-to `cat "/home/myname/etc/svn-authors/myproject/$AUTHOR"`\ assuming that you have files that contains the email of each svn-user in the /home/myname/etc/svn-authors/myproject/ directory
   E.G : in the etc/svn-authors/myproject/ directory you can
   echo -n 'firstName.lastName@domain.tld' > userPseudo foreach of yours svn-users

Good luck !

Impossible à trouver sur le web (ou alors google me déteste),
voici un mémo des commandes svn les plus utiles (selon moi)

• Créer un repository:
  svnadmin create /path/to/repo
• Première importation dans le repository:
  svn import /path/to/file/to/be/imported/ file:///path/to/repository/ -m "first import message"
• Afficher les fichiers impactés par le commit #123 et le message de commit :
  svn log -v -r 123
• Gestion des accès au repository :
  • /path/to/repository/conf/svnserve.conf
    [general]
anon-access = read/write/none
auth-access = read/write/none
password-db = passwd
realm = my SVN project foo

  • /path/to/repository/conf/passwd
    user:notencryptedpassword
• Commandes usuelles :
  • mis à jour de la copie locale des fichiers :
    svn up
  • envoyer des fichiers mis à jour sur le repository :
    svn ci file1 file2 fil3 -m "commit message"

  Apparement il est possible d’avoir un tortoise-like sous ubuntu :
  $ sudo apt-get install nautilus-script-collection-svn
$ nautilus-script-manager enable Subversion

  et encore plus complet ( mais pas parfait, béta oblige, grosse lenteur du HDD donc de tout le système sur ma machine ): google code : Nautilus SVN
