Here is is...

----------8<----------

  #!/bin/sh
  # POST-COMMIT HOOK
  #
  # The post-commit hook is invoked after a commit. Subversion runs
  # this hook by invoking a program (script, executable, binary, etc.)
  # named 'post-commit' (for which this file is a template) with the
  # following ordered arguments:
  #
  # [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository)
  # [2] REV (the number of the revision just committed)
  #
  # The default working directory for the invocation is undefined, so
  # the program should set one explicitly if it cares.
  #
  # Because the commit has already completed and cannot be undone,
  # the exit code of the hook program is ignored. The hook program
  # can use the 'svnlook' utility to help it examine the
  # newly-committed tree.
  #
  # On a Unix system, the normal procedure is to have 'post-commit'
  # invoke other programs to do the real work, though it may do the
  # work itself too.
  #
  # Note that 'post-commit' must be executable by the user(s) who will
  # invoke it (typically the user httpd runs as), and that user must
  # have filesystem-level permission to access the repository.
  #
  # On a Windows system, you should name the hook program
  # 'post-commit.bat' or 'post-commit.exe',
  # but the basic idea is the same.
  #
  # The hook program typically does not inherit the environment of
  # its parent process. For example, a common problem is for the
  # PATH environment variable to not be set to its usual value, so
  # that subprograms fail to launch unless invoked via absolute path.
  # If you're having unexpected problems with a hook program, the
  # culprit may be unusual (or missing) environment variables.
  #
  # Here is an example hook script, for a Unix /bin/sh interpreter.
  # For more examples and pre-written hooks, see those in
  # the Subversion repository at
  # http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/ and
  # http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/
