What user is running Apache's httpd daemon? That should be the user
who owns the hook scripts (and the entire repository). You don't need
execute permission for anyone but the owner. However, I there isn't
any security problems with 755 permission. The hook script merely runs
a few svnlook commands, and either exits with a status of zero or
non-zero. The hook scripts shouldn't be changing anything in
Subversion archive itself.
