So under /svn/repo/hooks I have a post-commit script. Every time we start a new svn repo for another project I need to go to the server and copy the simple master post-commit script.

I noticed under /svn/hooks there's the standard .tpml. Are the hooks in this folder global and apply to all repos? Or is this hooks folder for something else?

I think the tpml files are just templates to copy and modify.. What about creating a script to use in place of "svnadmin create", that would create the new repository AND copy the standard hooks? Or it could just create a symlink to them, so if you need to modify one of them, you don't have to re-copy it inside every repository.

This is one of the problems of multiple repositories - multiple things to maintain. Not a huge problem, but you do have to consider it. Are you handling backups and authentication properly as well? – Jim T Sep 17 '09 at 7:55
JimT, backups are done as incramental dumps on post-commit. Our repos don't change often, so that works out. The dump is then backed up to our backup server. Authentication is done with standard ApacheAuth – shaiss Sep 17 '09 at 13:53
Joril, I have a script at the moment that does that, minus coping these hooks. I was hooking for a global way to apply them. – shaiss Sep 17 '09 at 13:54
