Re: Updating a WC in the post-commit fails

Remember that the post-commit hook runs as the user who is running the
Subversion archive. So, the best thing to do is log in as the
Subversion user, and then try to do an update and see if you get a
prompt for a password.

It could be that the Subversion server user's password changed. If
this happened, the Subversion user can't update this workspace.
