Editing a Log in tortoise

Question

Can you edit a log if you made a mistake when specifying some commit comments?

Answer 1

By default, you cannot edit the log message. In order to change this default behavior, you (or your SVN administrator) need to set up an appropriate pre-revprop-change hook.

The online "Version Control with Subversion" book describes what a pre-revprop-change hook is and how to set one up.

This StackOverflow entry has pre-revprop-change content that you can cut-and-paste to enable log message edits.

Answer 2

Open the log messages window (Show Log), right click on log message and choose "Edit log message".
