My response was going to be "svn update cannot be run on a repository path",
until I read the rest of your post-commit script.

Have you tried just running the "svn update" in the post-commit hook (ie
without any of the transformation steps)?

If you're modifying versioned files within the checked-out working copy, you
could be hitting some sort of conflict, which is triggering the interactive
conflict resolution.

You could try modifying the "svn update" call to use either
"--non-interactive", or one of the variants of the "--accept" switch
("theirs-full" is probably the most likely).

Cheers,
