The first two scripts are for Unix/Linux; they are /bin/sh or /bin/bash
scripts. They will not work on a Windows machine.

The third should have worked on any type of machine, though if the
destination repository is on Unix/Linux you will need to make the file
executable and should change its ownership to match that of the other
sample scripts in the hooks directory. For example, on my Linux-hosted
repository, all scripts are owned by user apache, group apache.

What platform is the destination repository (i.e. the backup) on? Is it
Windows or Unix/Linux? You haven't told us anything about the machines
you are running on; you mentioned ".bat files" but then tried scripts
meant for Unix/Linux.

Do NOT run any experiments with complicated scripts until you get a
simple script running; if you can't get a single line "exit 0" script to
work then none of the complicated scripts will work. In particular, if
you are not an expert batch file/shell script developer, you shouldn't
try anything fancy. You can really mess things up.
