Thanks, that's kind of what I figured when it didn't work.

The best I came up with was to install it as a post-update hook instead.

Best practice would have us do an svn update before any commit
(sometimes you NEED to), and if you're just working a single branch
then the initial checkout or switch will also run the script.

I'm considering a server-side hook update to automatically create a
trunk lock instead of requiring users to remember to keep their branch
locks after commit; but that comes with its own set of troubles
(mainly, not having a working copy for that trunk lock). It would have
the advantage of not requiring everybody to configure a client hook.

Thanks for your reply.
