Are you certain that the limitation is in the repository itself, and
not with the working copy path? There's a path length limit in some
Windows APIs used by Subversion/APR.

What I'm getting at is that no matter how short the path in the
repository, you could in theory attempt to check out a working copy
which breaks that Windows limit, if your directory structure/names on
the Windows machine is long enough. A hook script won't prevent that
from happening.
