It just occurred to me that what I had in mind will
not modify anything that the user will have checked
out.

For example, if the user were working in
/project/main/HEAD and checks in for the first time as
revision 5, stuff that the hooks will modify will
include:
/project/main # property will be modified
/project/main/1 # cp of /project/main/HEAD -r 5

The other stuff the hooks will do don't involve
working directories since they'll act on cp and mkdir
commands with URL arguments.

Can anyone think of anything else that may be
dangerous when modifying transactions from within
pre-commit hooks?

Thanks,
Noel
