Ok. So hopefully if we stick to FSFS, we'll be safe.
If you really need Java hooks, why not use JavaHL to avoid SVNKit's

We needed transaction support... javaSVN/SVNKit seemed to have that, I
didn't see that in javaHL. Good suggestion though. See below:

In my opinion, writing a pre-anything hook in Java is not viable because
of the overhead of starting the JVM. If that is not an issue for you,
then your next problem is that there are no Java API's that can
interrogate transactions, so you'd probably have to contribute that
support to JavaHL yourself. To do it today, you'd have to execute svnlook
from Java which would be pointless.
Note that I am one of the biggest consumers of JavaHL, so it is not like I
am against Java. I actually do some post-xxx hooks using Java. What I
did was I have a Java daemon process that is always running and monitoring
a folder.
