Except that I responded specifically because it appeared that Eric had 
missed the mention of svnserve (since he only discussed why Apache 
wouldn't work), or didn't realize it covered his case (which is why I 
went into more detail than Marcus did).  I also got no impression that 
Eric needed something /now/, as opposed to /later/, merely that he 
believed that the only way he could accomplish his task was via 
pre-checkout/pre-export hooks.  His original e-mail was merely querying 
as to whether "there are plans on implementing these hooks" not that he 
had to have it now.
