You're right. It don't work.

Windows shell is very, very, very evil. I don't understand why it's not
something so easy like "runmyprocess &".

The solution for me is a hibrid one: 50% HookStart, 50% Windows Shell Kung
Fu (I loved this expression):

When HookStart is called, it ignores the environment variables. It spawns a
new process, so, we can't call a batch file from it. I need one to set the
environment vars and do it's magic. So, I got something like this:

assync.bat - The stuffs I want to run assynchronous
=====================================
set REPOS=%1
set REV=%2
SET PATH=C:\PERL\BIN;c:\windows\system32;
SET OS=Windows_NT
SET SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS

perl c:\perl\bin\svnnotify --repos-path %REPOS% -r %REV% --to
myemail@myprovider HTML::ColorDiff -d --from
svn@architettura.com.br--subject-cx --subject-prefix "[SVN]"
--io-layer raw --charset cp850

post-commit.bat
============
set REPOS=%1
set REV=%2
"c:\program files\hookstart" c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c
c:\svn\crk\hooks\assync.bat %REPOS% %REV%
