Ah. I missed that. The nightly documentation still has the section about why it's *not* implemented with properties.
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-hooks
Perhaps that should be replaced with a link to the properties section?

Hmm... Still not sure how good idea this is. It will be difficult for a user to know on what grounds to approve such a script. And then it will be difficult to keep track of that the script does not change on an update. But that's another issue altogether...
