If I read your mail correctly, you're running the post-commit script *by
hand*, not from a commit - is that right? (If not, I've misunderstood, so
ignore me!)

The first two lines of the script:

> REPOS="$1"
> REV="$2"

... set the variables REPOS and REV to values passed on the command line.
So I would expect the following:

> $ sudo -u wwwrun ./post-commit reposname revnum

to set the variables "REPOS" and "REV" to "reposname" and "revnum"
respectively...
