Re: hook script basics

Hi Brian,

The problem wasn't the env however I ran "set" and redirected it to a
file in a hook script and found the complete env in Windows was set
contrary to the docs.

The actual problem was that Apache is normally run as the SYSTEM user
so I changed it to run as a user having access privs to the repo and
it worked.
