I'm using a subversion repository and I want to know whenever somebody asks my repository for a checkout; like a 'svn co' or an 'svn up'. Is there a hook or some other method that I can use so that a script is run, or email sent, whenever somebody requests information from my svn server? How can I achieve this without relying on apache logs?
BTW it is a pretty simple repository just meant for Educational purposes.
(If you need more information then just ask. Thanks in advance.)

Open the SVN server, right-click on the repository and select the copy URL to clipboard (for the VIsualSVN server) and paste it on the command line. User credentials will be the same as what we set at the time of user creation. After every successful checkout operation, the output will print a revision number.
The following are all the supported hooks in Subversion 1.5, from the Version Control with Subversion book:
There is no pre-checkout or pre-update hook like you describe.
