I have the Debian version of trac, and it does not come with a contrib directory. Any pointers as to where I can get this script?

@Neo:

The sed command takes the post-commit hook file that comes with Trac and replace “EXAMPLE” with the name of your repository name. It then stores it in your Subversion’s ‘hook’ directory.

When this post-commit file is executable (hence the chmod x), it automatically passes information from the commit you made to Trac. This is what makes the Trac-SVN integration work.

Cool stuff!! Thanks Ariejan

However, can you please explain following two lines in details?

sed s/EXAMPLE/$1/g /usr/share/trac/contrib/post-commit > /var/lib/svn/$1/hooks/post-commit
chmod x /var/lib/svn/$1/hooks/post-commit

Thanks in advance.
