Re: svn+ssh://: preventing post-commit from running

Possible mitigations:

1. Write a daemon that watches the db/current file, and whenever that file
changes, runs the post-commit hook.

That will solve not only the problem at hand but also the "post-commit hooks
may run out of sequence" problem.

2. When we're in svnserve -i/-t mode, fork() before moving db/current
into place, and arrange for the child not to be killed by SIGHUP to the
parent.

3. [your idea here]

Cheers,

Daniel
