svnlook is very likely being invoked from a hook script (Subversion
won't ever invoke it during a commit in the absence of a hook script).
Can you figure out which hook script invokes svnlook, and how?
Based on your description of the problem I would suppose that svnlook
is being run in the post-commit hook.

Can you reproduce the hang by invoking svnlook manually, outside of
the hook script?
