That was true of the Qt update commit, but I doubt Michael's kio fix 
crashed the hook with too huge a diff. He touched two files only.

I have two outstanding issues to fix in the hook:
1) reduce the memory usage. It's loading the entire diff 3 times into 
memory right now [O(n)], but in theory I can reduce it to a fixed size, 
around 30k [O(1)]. Memory usage will still be O(n) to the number of 
files, though

2) move the calculation of the base path to after the diff parsing, so as 
to "rehabilitate" the svk commits.

The third issue (the improper parsing of properties) will require a full 
rewrite of the hook to one using the SVN API instead of running svnlook. 
As you can probably see, I'm not too keen on doing that. (especially 
since that would be in Python, a language I'm not too familiar with)

What conversion are you talking about?
