Re: svn commit - (no author)

So I modified my own version of pre-revprop-change.tmpl for this
repository, but so far every time I try to execute svn propset:

svn: 'pre-revprop-change' hook failed with error output:

and there is no output. No matter what I put into the four former
template values, it always triggers an error with zero error response
output.

What am I missing? What else do I need to add to the .tmpl? The code
it executes appears fairly trivial. Should the REPOS path variable be
a URL or a file system path?
