I mean that besides the "real" projects in your repository, there would be
a distinct tools project. Your users could either explicitly check out that
project along with whatever projects they are working on, or you could
automate the checkout of the tools project in your makefiles or
buildscripts.

Understandable.

Maybe an extern reference in each project to the tools project would
satisfy TSVN's restrictions. Otherwise, the alternative is to maintain
multiple copies of the hook scripts in each project. Seems to me an extra
project containing the common elements is a small price to pay.
