Ups, sorry. I completely forgot that the menu is shown for the
repository root.

But I still get the error message dialog here. I've also treid your
script, but used 'exit -1', still I get the error dialog.

Even if I return 1 instead of -1 I get the error dialog.

Are you sure your hook script is even run on the server?
