FYI, adding post-commit.bat into the hooks directory of a repository 
does work under Windows (XP, at least). I've had it running NetCat to 
trigger a DamageControl build process[1] every time a commit succeeds. 
Not that I'd seriously want to run a Subversion server under Windows...

Cheers,
Mike.

[1] That probably sounds like garbage, but the gist is that the batch 
file will be executed and behave roughly the same as a Unix equivalent.

    start /MIN /LOW svnadmin.exe deltify -r "%1" "%2"

or whatever the parameters are.

A background process could be done using cygwin maybe...

Well, I think I'll run the deltification in a nightly script just before
the backup (what I'm curious of now is, is a 'dump -incremental' after
deltification different from one before the deltification?).

Cheers,

It's just not easy to write a post-commit hook *that runs backgrounded*
on Windows.  That is, if the Windows hook system works *at all*
(which, to be honest, I can't verify since I've never tried it), you
should still be able to add a call to 'svnadmin deltify' in there.
Your commits won't return successfully until the deltification is
done, but that's the same way things worked in 0.32 anyway.
