I have a local run ubersvn repository in my computer and I would like to modify a commit message that I have on my last commit. Is there anyway through ubersvn or tortoisesvn (which I use as an interface) to change the commit message of a previous commit? I am an admin.

Commit log message is property of revision svn:log, which you can, as any other svn-property, edit with svn propedit.

PS: and viewed with proplist

>svn proplist --revprop -r "HEAD" http://mayorat.ursinecorner.ru:8088/svn/Hello/ -v
Unversioned properties on revision 34:
  svn:author
    lazybadger
  svn:date

  svn:log
    Added file with vowels in filename

From TurtoiseSvn - Show log -> Edit log message.

  • When I try that, I will get an error saying "DAV Require failed; it's possible that the repositories pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent. – mmurphy Nov 07 '12 at 08:52
