Re: svnlook fails as subprocess, but succeeds when run directly?

Yup, that was the problem. We don't pass the environment when we run
the hooks, so LC_CTYPE, LANG, whatever, are not set for the hook
scripts.

As a workaround, I've temporarily set

   LANG=en_US

in the live pre-commit and post-commit scripts on svn.collab.net. As
you can see from revision 2734, that solved the problem :-).

In the longer term, I think we should just inherit the environment in
the hook subprocesses. Can anyone see any disadvantage or risk to
doing so?
