So if I get you right you are saying that someone connecting to the
server via https://[URL] causes the hook to run as expected while
someone using svn+ssh://[URL] triggers the hook but that fails due to
REPOWEBMAN_CONFIG not being set?

If I get you right, I can't follow you why you think REPOWEBMAN_CONFIG
would be set in the svn+ssh-case (or maybe I'm lacking some knowledge
here?).
You stated that you specified REPOWEBMAN_CONFIG in
/etc/forge/svn-hooks-env.ini which is set in the Apache config (aka:
applies when someone uses https://[URL]).

You also state that you start svnserve with the config file being set to
/etc/forge/svnserve.ini. But where would you expect the connection to
the REPOWEBMAN_CONFIG-environment variable here? Am I missing something
or is this actually the cause of your problem?

Stefan
