I think it's a bit odd of you to judge a product based on one tiny
pluggable server-feature. Did you set up CVS to send mail recently?
Was it easier?

I apologize that I've not followed your tribulations closely. I'm
not sure what problems you've had, or why you've had them. The basic
concept behind a repository hook is about as simple as it can be:

   1. The hook script runs as whatever process is doing the commit.
(In your case, this would be the apache process.) Set permissions/
ownership accordingly.

   2. The hook script runs with no predefined environment. So you
need to make sure that you use absolute paths (instead of relying on
$PATH).

Given your experience, how would you recommend we change Subversion,
or hook feature? What would make post-commit hooks easier to use?
I'm looking for constructive criticism here, rather than angry insults.
