Hook scripts

• There are many hook scripts in the tools area (supported) and the contrib area (unsupported, offered on an as-is basis), in addition to the ones below.

• svn2cvs - Save Subversion commits to CVS repository.
  http://svn2cvs.tigris.org/

• PHPUnitStats - On each commit, compute statistics of PHPUnit test cases performed by the author, store results in a MySQL database.
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpunitstats/

Repository converters

• cvs2svn - CVS to Subversion conversion
  cvs2svn has become its own project now, look at:
  http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/

• svn-dump2dir and svn-dir2dump - Convert back and forth between a subversion dump file and a subversion dump directory.
  A "dump directory" is isomorphic to a dump file but all of the fields have been exploded out into their own files so that the field length counts are implicit. It is straightforward to hack on or patch the history a subversion repository when in this dump directory form. Also includes a reimplementation of patch that is more helpful when files are missing, as occurs in the incremental dump form. A precise grammar for the subversion dump file format is also provided.
