BTW, since client-side hooks are mentioned from time to time,
shouldn't they be added as a feature request on the issue tracker?

They could solve other problems, such as restoring file permissions
and providing more advanced auto-props (e.g. per repository, based
on file contents instead of filename extension...), without needing
a wrapper script to parse some svn output (and possibly do more work
than necessary).

Note if this isn't clear: for security reasons, client-side hooks are
written by the user of the client (just like the client config file).
And if users want e.g. server-wide auto-props, this can also be done
with a client-side hook that reads some config file provided by the
server (and a server-side hook can also check things if need be).
