Some weird error cropped up suddenly outta nowhere and is preventing me from checking in my code via TortoiseSVN. I'm using a free account on myversioncontrol.com

This is on a Windows Vista system. It was working fine till earlier in the day. Any clue how to get things back to normal?

The Tortoise window shows this

Command: Commit  
Modified: ...\edit.php  
Sending content: ...\edit.php  
Error: Commit failed (details follow):  
Error: Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output:  
Error: n/a (6).

Could it be that you have not entered a commit message? According to their twitter feed: "New functionality added. Block users from committing work without writing a log message. Find in the resources section of your control panel".
