There are some issues, the main one is that some network file systems or setups do not provide clean locking semantics.

Other possible issues include line ending conversion, character set differences, and case differences.

So the line ending conversions are not an issue for you, it seems.

Yes, but that hook should run directly on the server.

Maybe you can create a batch file which uses "plink" or a similar tool to log onto the server and run "svn update" there.
