I would recommend to maintain the hook scripts in a separate (small)
repository. You can then make the $MAINREPO/hooks directory a working
copy of the $HOOKSREPO/trunk or of $HOOKSREPO/branches/mainrepo. That
way you can version control your hooks, maybe maintain hooks in
different variations for different "main repositories", plus it's easy
to control access to the hooks (only for svn administrators or
sysadmins or ... -- you can also configure it so that the $HOOKSREPO
is only accessible via file:/// urls from the server itself if so
desired).
