Workaround for post-commit.bat failing to svnsync due to ssl certificate.

My company has it’s svn server on a windows box which makes things like 30x more of a pain.  We use svnsync to synchronize a local repo with a repo one. 

Adding a post-commit.bat to call svnsync failed because it would hang waiting for user input to accept the SSL Certificate.

Error validating server certificate for 'https://someserver.com:443': 
- The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. 
Use the fingerprint to validate the certificate manually! 
Certificate information: 
  - Hostname: someserver.com 
  - Valid: from Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:49:41 GMT until Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:49:41 GMT 
  - Issuer: Equifax Secure Inc., US 
  - Fingerprint: b1:4e:2d:b8:7f:27:96:ba:21:ef:46:fc:12:43:b5:4c:83:3b:dd:b9 
  (R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently? svnsync: PROPFIND request failed on '/somefolder' 
svnsync: PROPFIND of '/somefolder': Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted 
(https://someserver.com) 

When svnsync was being run from post-commit it was being run as some system user which hasn’t already accepted the certificate to have it in it’s certificate store.  I began looking into how I would add it when I realized that I had a scheduled task for which I could specify the user to run as.  So, the simple solution is… create a scheduled task which invokes svnsync. 

Then add to your post-commit.bat

@echo Running from postcommit hook! >> C:\sync_serverupdatessvn.log 2>&1
call SCHTASKS /Run /TN  >> C:\sync_serverupdatessvn.log 2>&1

Just replace <YOURTASKNAME> with the name you gave to your scheduled task you created.  You’ll also probably want to update the logfile name and path.

You should really just add the slave server's certificate to your Master Server's "Trusted Certificate Authority Store" under the "Local Computer" account.
