Log message looks good.

The code here looks fine. But shouldn't the doc string for
svn_repos_fs_lock() mention that this can happen now? Currently, that
function is documented to be "Like svn_fs_lock()..." with a few
differences. Now there's one more difference: the token that is
actually used can be different from the token the caller passed!

"If RESULT is non-null, set *RESULT to the stdout of the hook or to
the empty string if the hook generates no output on stdout."

But shouldn't result be a stringbuf or some other type that can store
arbitrary binary data? In general, there's no guarantee that a hook's
output will be appropriate for a 'char *' result. Sure, that will be
the case with the particular hook involved in this change, but
run_hook_cmd() is a generic interface to all the hooks.

That all looks good to me (not very experienced with in/out redirection
via APR interfaces, but nothing jumps out at me).

Spurious change, but hey, I can't claim that it really distracted me
that much :-)

We should say unique across what space. Globally unique?

This doc string doesn't say that TOKEN can be null. Also, you say that
token "... will be used as the token for this lock", but isn't that
really a question of how the caller uses *TOKEN? All that happens here
is that the hook returns a unique string. Whether or not the caller
uses that token as intended is a separate matter, beyond the control of
svn_repos__hooks_pre_lock().

Also, it might be good to be both more technically accurate and more
reference-ish (so the reader knows where to look for more information):

  "If TOKEN is non-null, set *TOKEN to a new lock token generated by
  the pre-lock hook if any (see the pre-lock hook template for more
  information). If TOKEN is non-null but the hook does not return any
  token, then set *TOKEN to <what? NULL? empty string?>"

(Looks like empty string to me, but I wasn't positive...)
