I have written a small post-commit hook for a somewhat different usage
(the original problem was versionning the hooks themselves). It can
surely be improved (eg. by only running "svn update" when the commit
impacts the relevant part of the svn tree, like the gcc guys did in
their own script).
It only checks out (update, indeed) in a local directory, but it could
probably be modified to have the "svn update" command run through ssh
on the other machine.
You will find it at http://ydirson.free.fr/soft/svn/svn-auto-checkout

Those are the 2 parameters to the script.

https or svn+ssh to access the repo should provide the level of
authentication you need, or do I miss something ?
