You are running the svn command-line client from your post-commit hook.
If 'svn propget' requires authorization, your hook script will hang
waiting for input.

Since the hook script will always have access to the repository, it
would be better to use "svnlook propget --revprop" and "svnadmin
setrevprop" -- incidentally, the latter does not need any special
pre-revprop-change hook in order to work.
