Does SVK not set any transaction properties that are distinguishable
from a well-behaved-yet-non-SVK client? If so, perhaps just teach
your hook to look for those transaction properties. If not, perhaps
teach SVN to set such a property, and teach to the pre-commit hook to
check for it, and then remove it.
