If you are in the post-commit hook script, then you are given the
revision number of the commit that just took place, which you can use
to discover the author as per my earlier mail.
If you're running a script at some other arbitrary time, then you
will need to discover the last changed revision of foo.txt so that
you can then use that number to get the author. "svn log -q --limit 1
$LOC" (where $LOC is a location in a working copy or a repository
URL) can help. For example:
$ svn log -q --limit 1 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/README

In fact this gives you not only the revision number but also the
author. To get just the author you can use a little shell magic:
$ svn log -q --limit 1 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/README |
awk '/^r/ {print $3}'
