Or you can write that pre-commit hook in C, after all, using our very
own libraries. It'll take a bit longer than doing it in Python, but much
less than trying to shoehorn something into libsvn_repos that wasn't
designed to be there.

(N.B.: Even if it /was/ in libsvn_repos, it'd just get called at the
same time as the pre-commit hook; so you'd save a fork+exec and a few
open calls, but not that much more.)
