Not gone; resolved:

Will be in 1.3.1.

You could build a bleeding-edge version of Subversion from trunk.

Or, you might consider doing your tasks not in (a script invoked
from) the post-commit hook, but in a cron task which runs often
enough to satisfy your needs. You could have the post-commit hook
touch a file and have the cron task only do whatever it does when the
file exists, then delete the file. That's probably not the best idea
as it probably allows for cases where a new commit occurs while the
cron task is running and thereby miss one necessary action, but you
get the idea and can probably script something up that does what you
need.
