svn commit "finishes" when the post-commit hook completes finishes
executing. If your post-commit is lengthy and you need quicker
response, have post-commit spawn a new process to actually do that
work, letting post-commit return. Doing this in any hook script means
you'll lose the ability to send feedback to the user regarding that
spawned process.
