We use externals, and our deployment process involves doing an export
of a working copy. It works fine for us, with Subversion 1.2.3 served
over Apache2 with https. I also just tried doing an export directly
from the repository without an intermediate working copy, and that
works too. So I don't see why externals would relate to the problem.

Hooks run with an empty environment... does it still work from the
command line if you empty the environment first? Assuming you're
using something Unix-like:

cd /path/to/repository/hooks
env -i ./post-commit

Are you specifying all paths in the hook as absolute paths?

If those tips don't help, maybe send us your post-commit script;
maybe we can spot something.

I'd recommend 1.2.3, of course, not because I'm aware of any specific
fixes that would relate to this, but just to be as current as possible.
