Off the top of my head, here's a bash post-commit hook script:

#!/bin/bash

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

SVN="/usr/local/bin/svn"
WC=/path/to/my/servers/working/copy"

$SVN update --non-interactive $WC

You would first need to check out a working copy to the path at $WC.

You would need to make sure that the user as whom this script is
running (i.e. the user as whom the repository is served) has
permission to write to that working copy. Also, that user's
~/.subversion directory needs to have the appropriate credentials
cached already (otherwise the $SVN update command will ask for a
username and password, which the process running the hook script
won't be able to provide).
