implementing hook scripts for the first time

Hello,

I am starting to apply hook scripts to my repository and I have a quick
query about how they are set up as the subversion system is still
relatively new to me.

Reading the book, it appears that you need to have a file called
post-commit for subversion to call. I can then use this script to call
all the other scripts I want to run during a post commit. Can I place
these secondary scripts in a directory called 'post-commit' inside the
hooks directory? Will this work reliably?

i.e. The post-commit file will have contents like this:

REPOS="$1"

REV="$2"

perl ./post-commit-scripts/email.pl REPOS REV

python ./post-commit-scripts/something-else.py REPOS REV

The book doesn't seem to suggest that this is possible and makes me
think I need to put all my operations in one huge script file called
post-commit for it to work. Obviously being able to split things up a
bit means it will be more manageble for me.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Adam Downer
