## Name

svnadmin setlog — Set the log message on a revision.

## Synopsis

`svnadmin setlog REPOS_PATH -r REVISION FILE`

## Description

Set the log message on revision `REVISION` to the contents of `FILE`.

This is similar to using svn propset with the `--revprop` option to set the `svn:log` property on a revision, except that you can also use the option `--bypass-hooks` to avoid running any pre- or post-commit hooks, which is useful if the modification of revision properties has not been enabled in the `pre-revprop-change` hook.

| Warning
Revision properties are not under version control, so this command will permanently overwrite the previous log message.

## Options

    --bypass-hooks
    --revision (-r) ARG

## Examples

Set the log message for revision 19 to the contents of the file `msg`:

    $ svnadmin setlog /var/svn/repos/ -r 19 msg
