I am not sure what you mean by asking if the post-commit script is
making the commit in subversion. It seems to me that a script entitled
"post-commit" will be invoked after the commit operation has been completed.

My post-commit script is nothing more or less than the post-commit.tmpl
file copied and edited to change the email address and to remove the
python script at the end (I could not find the python script). I copied
commit-email.pl and am invoking it within post-commit as
"./commit-email.pl". I would further point out that, if this were a
paths issue, invoking post-commit under env - would expose this issue.
That's why the FAQ suggests as much.
