"There is nothing displayed" is a bit vague. Where do you expect things
to be displayed?

You can, but "svn info" and "svn status" only work with working copies,
not directly with repositories.

You can certainly do a "svn propget" in a post-commit hook. If you use
the script bindings, or write a program tat links with the Subversion
libraries, you could examing the properties before the commit, in a
pre-commit hook.
