The python scripts in this directory should be copied into a new 'hooks' directory that should be created in your Trac installation directory (not the Trac environment directory), for example as in /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/trac/hooks These scripts are called from the svn hooks stub scripts (see the README file in the 'svnstubs' directory). The Python scripts are currently being reworked. They run successfully on my servers, but your mileage may vary
