[cvsspam-devel] CVSSPAM and SVN

[Jerry Talton]

I recently installed CVSSPAM in a subversion repository that I'm
helping maintain, with the usual post-commit script to call
svn_post_commit_hook.rb.  For the most part, it works great, but any
time I add or change a binary file I get the following:

Warning: 'post-commit' hook failed with error output:
/web/svn/elysium/hooks/svn_post_commit_hook.rb:155:in `assert_next':

       from /web/svn/elysium/hooks/svn_post_commit_hook.rb:313

I am really only a novice Ruby programmer: can someone suggest a
workaround?  It seems as if it shouldn't try to read_modified_diff on
binary files, right?

Any help would be *much* appreciated!!
