I don't even think your hook script needs to access the repository in
a way that requires a password. You should be able to bypass that.

For example, you could write your post-commit hook like this:

#!/bin/sh

REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"

SVNADMIN=/usr/bin/svnadmin
MKTEMP=/usr/bin/mktemp
CAT=/bin/cat
RM=/bin/rm

FILE=`$MKTEMP -t svnhook`
$CAT > $FILE << SVNHOOK_EOF
my
new
log
message
SVNHOOK_EOF

$SVNADMIN setlog --bypass-hooks \
$REPOS -r $REV $FILE

$RM -f $FILE
