We actually have a nice "Shared/Tools" location where I could put such
things. But how would I get this into my project's working copy?

I actually realized a little while ago when I started trying to test
some of these options, that the tsvn:XXXhook properties are not in
1.7.x so I probably need to try a different tack for now anyway.

But if I were using 1.8.x, an external reference would be a nice way
to do this. Will this work? Server-side scripts require an absolute
path to run, and
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-propertypage.html#tsvn-dug-propertypage-tsvn-props
mentions the %REPOROOT% variable as a way to account for differing
working copy locations. But since an external doesn't actually reside
at the repository path where it appears in the working copy, I don't
think I can use REPOROOT in this case. I can't tell from the docs
whether relative paths work or not for the client-side scripts.
