Yes. On every platform, it tries to find a matching hook script (on
Windows by also checking the applicable file extensions) and then
executes it directly, not via a shell. See

        subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:svn_io_start_cmd()

for the gory details. As I said before, it is a Windows limitation that
the file associations are bound to the CMD and Explorer applications
themselves and are not supported by the OS itself.
