".in" is not anything to do with python specifically; it means that it is a template file, and that a process (typically a Makefile or a configure script) will replace some placeholders in that template with actual values in order to transform it into a real usable program.
In the case of hot-backup.py.in, the only placeholder seems to be "@SVN_BINDIR@" which occurs twice near the top of the script. If you like, you can bypass the usual process and replace the placeholders with the correct values manually.
