It doesn't matter... you can write a hook script in COBOL if you want.
Subversion simply tries to execute a particular filename, and then
looks at the program's return value.

Have you read the template hook-scripts? The ones you get when you
create a repository? They answer this question. So does chapter 5 in

The most common ones (authorization-checking ones for pre-commit, and
mail-sending ones for post-commit) are kept in svn's own tree, in
/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/ and /trunk/tools/hook-scripts/

We use SWIG to generate Perl and Python bindings to the svn C

bothered to make that happen yet, so we're always looking for
volunteers.
