You can't really do it that way, because, as I said in another
thread, the hook runs on the server but you are wanting a script that

But there is a different solution to let you commit things from a
working copy that's checked out from a read-only mirror, and it's
called a write-thru proxy. This feature will be available starting in
Subversion 1.5. You can read about it here:
