Hi,
See attached an attempt to fix issue 2619
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2619).
[[[
Fix issue 2619 by explaining how to prevent svn from waiting for the
background processes when one wants to spawn some work asynchroneously
in the post-commit hook
* subversion/libsvn_repos/repos.c
(create_hooks): Add a paragraph about proper backgrounding to the
template comment.
