Note that pre-commit is called before the commit actually happens. That is
the reason why you have the "-1" against the 'potential' revision number.
This is called the transaction number. A revision number can be obtained
only after the commit it complete.

I think svnnotify is a tool to notify others of commit activity within svn.
In which case you should use svnnotify within a post-commit (that is what
the docs of svnnotify asks you as well).
