A hook script to apply properties? Modifying a transaction in-flight
will result in the committer not having an up to date working copy
immediately after commit. The general guideline is to not modify
transactions in hook scripts.

Have a look at svn_apply_autoprops.py, it will traverse a working copy
and apply all properties that are definedin your [auto-props]
