Depends on how often it is invoked. If it would be invoked for each
path, that probably is a performance problem. Look in
subversion/libsvn_repos/hooks.txt. That's a design doc for the
current hooks with further ideas on "read sentinels" - basically a
hook that will be started once and notified for each path processed
with the ability to stop the operation. Might be useful if we want
read hooks-
