In post-commit you can use 'svn'. (The transaction had already been
committed and the FS layer finished his part in the show by that point;
see svn_repos_fs_commit_txn().) Only in pre-commit are you constrained
to 'svnlook' (-t), and --- for example, considering the -x-p option ---
I suspect no one ever needed to use -x-p from pre-commit.
I'm not sure that explanation covers all the missing options, but at
least some of them.
