Hmmm ... something odd about your experimental results, here. A
post-commit hook, as you suspected, has no power to fail a commit.
Furthermore, a post-commit hook has no effect on the "MERGE request
on '/svn/repos/test/trunk'" (this doesn't mean the familiar merge in
your working copy, but rather the WebDAV "MERGE" command that
constitutes the central action of any commit ... roughly translatable
as "stuff this in, please."). And, finally, if the MERGE request
fails, there really ain't gonna be no new revision in the repo, as
you report there was. This is too many "impossibles" for one
experiment; you should check for some other change you made while
enabling/disabling the post-commit hook, or some other correspondence
between things you thought were related but actually aren't.
Post-commit hooks have been known, for example, to do additional
commits of their own (and that's perfectly legal, though it can be
tricky). So, for example, if your post-commit hook script not only
sends email but also checks in some status file containing the
revision number of the last revision for which email was sent, then
this *second* commit (not the one you made yourself) might be the one
having MERGE difficulties.
