Hmmm.

Frankly, I mildly prefer the current behavior, because:

   - Your working copy is not corrupt, it's just out-of-date; running
     "svn update" will Do The Right Thing and seamlessly merge the
     identical changes in. And if you blindly try to commit again,
     you'll get an out-of-date error, of course.

   - You find out that there's a problem with the post-commit hook.

The alternative is that your working copy looks committed, which is
nice, but you never learn that there's a problem with the post-commit
hook (or at least, you don't learn until someone thinks to ask where
the commit emails are, or whatever).
