Best strategy to write hooks for subversion in Windows | What is the best approach to write **hooks** for **Subversion** in **Windows**? As far as I know, only executable files can be used. So what is the best choice? 


* Plain batch files (very limited but perhaps OK for very simple solutions)
* Dedicated compiled executable applications (sledgehammer to crack a nutshell?)
* Some other hybrid choice (like a batch file running a Powershell script)
