I think Philip means they need not be part of our public API so they should go
in a private header that is local to libsvn_subr. I haven't looked to see if
there is a suitable header already. I don't know the purpose of these "xlate"
handles, so I can't comment on whether they ought to be public.

I hadn't noticed. I was waiting to get the basic approach sorted out before
actually reviewing the patch at an implementation level.

Style note: Please omit the "for ..." comments, since they always become out of
date and it's relatively easy to find out what facilities a particular header
is providing if anyone wants to know.

Move the "i++" to a separate statement (perhaps using a "for" loop would be
neatest), since the order of evaluation of arguments is undefined. (That is, a
compiler can perform "args[i++]" before "native_args[i]" and thus get the wrong
native_arg.)

In all of these error messages, put the hook script's name in (single)
quotation marks: "... script '%s'", to make it clear that it is being quoted
and is not part of the syntax of the sentence. (Otherwise, it could be
confusing if the script's name is, say, some English word like "error".)

Also, you probably want to mark either all of them for translation (with
"_(...)") or none of them.

Does this line work as intended? Isn't the operator precedence of "==" higher
than "="?

Isn't /dev/null more appropriate? It would be less likely to make the script
loop forever if it should try to read its input.

Error leak - looks like you were intending to catch the error in variable "err"
but forgot to do so.

If the hook script is, at this point, executing asynchronously ("in the
background"), doesn't this loop give up immediately, before the script has a
chance to write anything? In other words, doesn't this need to keep going
while the size read is zero or more (preferably using some technique to avoid
spinning at 100% CPU usage) and only stop when it sees EOF?

This can write to the byte after the end of the buffer...

... so just avoid using a null terminator and use svn_stringbuf_appendbytes()
instead.

No need for the line-continuation backslash.

Why not also if len == 1?

The rest looks OK but this is only a read-through review, I haven't tried
running it.
