That particular SVN client will be blocked. But if you have two users committing at the same time, or if a user runs "svn" twice in parallel, then the post-commit hook will be run in parallel. Here's how I tested this. I created a new repository with a post-commit hook that takes 30 seconds to run. I then checked that it works, and that a normal commit took 30 seconds. I then did two commits in parallel, and that took 30 seconds. This shows that the post-commit hook is running in parallel - if it had been run in series, then it would have taken 60 seconds for 2 commits. (I also checked the output of "ps" and observed the two "post-commit" processes running). ~$ mkdir svnscratch ~$ cd svnscratch/ ~/svnscratch$ svn --version | head -n1 svn, version 1.6.8 (dev build) ~/svnscratch$ svnadmin create repo ~/svnscratch$ cat >repo/hooks/post-commit #! /bin/bash sleep 30 ~/svnscratch$ chmod a+x repo/hooks/post-commit ~/svnscratch$ time repo/hooks/post-commit real 0m30.004s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.008s ~/svnscratch$ time svn mkdir -m "Test" file://`pwd`/repo/trunk Committed revision 1. real 0m30.030s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.008s ~/svnscratch$ time ( svn mkdir -m "Test" file://`pwd`/repo/branches & svn mkdir -m "Test" file://`pwd`/repo/tags ) Committed revision 2.
