How do I implement an SVN hook to know the filename of the file committed, etc.?

Question

I am using Windows XP and TortoiseSVN, and I would like to know the filename, the path of the file, author, and other details about the revision committed to the repository by using a post-commit hook. Do we have to use a certain language to do this such as Python or is this possible to write even by using a batch file only?

Here is a nice tutorial on how to create SVN hooks http://wordaligned.org/articles/a-subversion-pre-commit-hook Basically you need to create a post-commit.exe or bat script. It can execute a python code of you want py calling:

python myhook.py

Inside the script.
