It's only needed on developer machines if it's a TSVN client-side
hook, or the repository is accessed via file:///, which is a really
bad idea in a shared environment.

The best thing to do is skip using BAT files altogether. You can
completely eliminate the need for a "send email" program by using a
modern Windows scripting environment like Windows Script Host (where
you'll use the build-in mail objects) or better yet PowerShell (single
cmdlet, send-mailmessage).
BAT files are clunky, difficult to both read and write, weak &
primitive. Better alternatives have existed for a decade now, but
people still cling to them because they haven't bothered to explore
what else is out there.
