Thanks, I'll use that. For 1.6.x, have to make a private version of it.

ra_dav already checks for SVN_ERR_REPOS_POST_COMMIT_HOOK_FAILED, it could use
svn_error_has_cause() to find it. If ra_dav cannot find a
SVN_ERR_REPOS_POST_COMMIT_HOOK_FAILED but there is an error and the commit
succeeded, then I think the parent error should be returned to warn people there
may be an issue with the server.
