As the docs say:
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-hooks

PATH

     A path to a temporary file which contains all the paths for which
the operation was started. Each path is on a separate line in the temp file.

Note the "for which the operation was started".

Yes, the information is at hand. And in your case it might even work.
But imagine an update that affects thousands of files. Writing that to a
file every time is a very expensive operation and will affect users that
don't need that info.

You could use the log file in %APPDATA%\TortoiseSVN\logfile.txt
to get the info you need.
