Outputting to standard error should work. I haven't tried it with TSVN,
though.

Note that there is a deadlock bug if you output more than a few kilobytes
(system dependent) to stderr.

Try
echo Some message >&2
in your hook script. (The syntax depends on your shell.) I tried that in
the command prompt in Win2k.
