I don't think so; that should already be the default.

I suspect the problem is rather that you need to close the stdout and
stderr file handles. Otherwise the client is waiting for output to
possibly appear. This has been mentioned on this list before. Try:

-----------------------------post-
commit----------------------------------

#!/bin/bash
REPO="$1"
REV="$2"
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/archive_process $REPO $REV >/dev/null 2>/
dev/null &

-----------------------------end of file
-------------------------------------

Also, be aware that multiple archive_process processes could now be
running simultaneously, if multiple commits happen in quick
succession. Make sure archive_process will function correctly in
these situations.
