In svn, labeling is done as a copy to another path. Our repo is layed out
something like this:
    code
       trunk
       tags
          4.0
          4.1

How are you planning to layout your repo?

Yes, those are the details I needed. Unless you're talking about 10+
thousands of files and directories, there is no need to attempt to determine
what has changed in your hook script. "svn update" will update only modified
paths and files.

I used svnadmin to create my repo, so I know that works. and svnserve

In 1.4, use of svnservice is no longer necessary. Read
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.4.0/notes/windows-service.txt for the
details.

Searching Google shows a number of reasons why you might see this error. My
personal experience was with Windows XP & 2003's software firewalls although
anti-virus, routers, spyware, and adaware software are also mentioned. It's
definitely an OS error message though and not a problem caused or fixable
via svn configuration.
