The script is still run after the txn is created and the initial txnprops
set. So, you'll get svn:date and svn:author, but not svn:log or the
user-provided custom revprops. (If this is a point of concern, the hook
author can simply bounce commits on the grounds that the client isn't new
enough for its standards.)

It would have *just* been set as the svn:author txnprop, but I strictly
speaking there is a race condition between the time the property is set and
the time the hook executes. If a program was able to guess the name of the
newly created transaction and change svn:author before the hook examined it,
that might be a point of concern?
