svnlook is very likely being invoked from a hook script (Subversion won't ever invoke it during a commit in the absence of a hook script). Can you figure out which hook script invokes svnlook, and how? Based on your description of the problem I would suppose that svnlook is being run in the post-commit hook. Can you reproduce the hang by invoking svnlook manually, outside of the hook script?
