Block commit to SVN when Redmine issue is not specified

Redmine allows to reference commits to issues by using keyword refs followed by # and number of the issue. If you want to block user commit to SVN without specifying Redmine issue you can use similar pre-commit hook on SVN. The hook is for Windows version.


@ECHO OFF
