Have you hook run 'svnlook changed ${REPOS} -t ${TXN}', and verify
that the only change is an 'A' (added) line for a path directly under
/releases. If it isn't bail. But if it is, you could even have it
also run 'svnlook dirschanged ${REPOS} -t ${TXN}' and verify that that
one changed path is a directory. Of course, this would allow any old
directory creation under /releases, copy or not.
Or, if you have language bindings available, you could write a script
which does *exactly* what you want because it could directly access
the repos via the APIs.
