pre-revprop-change is enough, start with the easiest setup possible.

This has nothing to do with hooks, I suspect you provided wrong user
credentials to the source repo. Check that the provided user on the
command line is the same as stated in passwd file of the source repo.

I'm rude now, but please concentrate on your problem! I only had a
fast look over the messages in this thread and found more than one
message telling you that hooks starting with #!/bin/sh are for Linux,
not for Windows. They won't work, don't do that, ignore each and every
hook starting with that line. It's wasted time, confuses you and even
the people who try to help you. You want to sync either to Windows or
Linux, I read Windows and therefore you won't need to do anything
starting with #!/bin/sh.

Please delete those files you created and simply forget about them.
:-)

But the book has a paragraph noticing that one has to adopt the
procedure on Windows on it's own.

Because you don't even get where the hook could be used. But the
creation of this and only this one hook is fine and what you need.
Only this hook with the line "exit 0" as pre-revprop-change.bat.

Check the login credentials for the source and maybe even the
destination repo, depedning on how you access the destination. Provide
us the exact command line you ran for initialize, just without
passwords of course.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
