My post-commit never fires, and I think this is because
There are some file system permissions that I need to install.
I have VisualSVN-Server-2.5.2 installed and running eclipse with the Subversion pluggin.
Everything works as expected, with the exception of the VisualSVN trigger.
This is my post-commit.cmd file named "post-commit.cmd"
C:\PROGRA~2\VISUAL~1\bin\myScript.cmd exit 0
UPDATE 1 when I put the “initial” text like this, the Commit window freezes with a pulsating progress - a green bar, as well as waiting for the trigger to start or some kind of sound. I cannot cancel the commit operation, but I can close the eclipse and then lock the commit window.
start C:\PROGRA~2\VISUAL~1\bin\post-commit.cmd exit 0
UPDATE 2
It works if you save the repository on a local hdd. This is when the save path for the network drive does not work. Well, that is a step forward. some user / password is needed for the bath file, maybe
Here's a bat file that saves the repository on local hdd (thanks to Christopher S. Simmons (CCS))

The idea is to run the larger script myScript.cmd, which makes hotcopy from
my repository. This works if I manually run post-commit.cmd

I can’t understand what to practically do regarding this text below.
"Subversion executes the hooks as the same user who owns the process that accesses the Subversion repository. In most cases, the repository is accessed through the Subversion server, so this user is the same user the server is working with on the system. The hooks will need to be configured OS-level permissions that will allow this user to execute them, which also means that any programs or files (including the Subversion repository) that are directly or indirectly accessible via the hook will be accessed as In other words, beware of the potential problems associated with the resolution of which may interfere with the hook to perform the tasks it is designed to perform.
