# START-COMMIT HOOK
#
#   [1] REPOS-PATH   (the path to this repository)
#   [2] USER         (the authenticated user attempting to commit)
#   [3] CAPABILITIES (a colon-separated list of capabilities reported
#                     by the client; see note below)
#
# Note: The CAPABILITIES parameter is new in Subversion 1.5, and 1.5
# clients will typically report at least the "mergeinfo" capability.
# If there are other capabilities, then the list is colon-separated,
# e.g.: "mergeinfo:some-other-capability" (the order is undefined).
#
