For a post-commit hook script on Windows, I suggest you have a separate
Scheduled Task setup to do it. You can set it to run on demand and then in
a post-commit.CMD launch it like so:
SCHTASKS /Run /TN "Name of task"
Scheduled Tasks can be launched by the LOCAL SYSTEM account that Apache runs
under, but have their own set of credentials to use. This way you don't
have to run Apache under a domain account and if the task takes a long time,
it won't tie up Apache.
One caveat, since you can't pass parameters to the scheduled task you'll
need to have it get its information (repository location, revision #) from
some other place. What I've done in these cases is have the
post-commit.CMDdump a flat file into a specific directory. The
scheduled task can then
look in this directory for files to serve as "things to do". Two nice side
effects of this is 1.) you can test the scheduled task without commits, and
2.) you can move the files to a "log" folder afterwards to keep track of
what's been done.
Things are simpler in your case if all you want to do is run SVN UPDATE from
a specific repository to a working copy, because you can write it with the
hard-coded values and not need parameters.
For more info on using SCHTASKS, or other command-line tricks on Windows, I
